What are you hungry for?
In the fourth beatitude, Jesus says those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed—and they will be satisfied. But what does it mean to hunger for righteousness when our default craving is to seek satisfaction from other things?
In this episode, we explore what it looks like to deeply desire right standing with God and right living in the world—and why that longing is both a gift and a promise.
To keep exploring the themes in this episode, here are a few reflection questions and passages to consider.
What are you hungry for right now? Pause and consider: What do your daily habits, thoughts, or longings reveal about your hunger? What “broken cisterns” (Jeremiah 2:13) and “bread which does not satisfy” (Isaiah 55:2) do you tend to run to?
How has God already begun to satisfy your hunger and thirst for righteousness? Can you see a growing desire for righteousness in your life? Consider Psalm 42:1-2 as you reflect.
