Blessed Are Those
20140503
Matthew 5:6
6 Blessed and fortunate and happy and [a]spiritually prosperous (in that state in which the born-again child of God [b]enjoys His favor and salvation) are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), for they shall be [c]completely satisfied!
Need I say more? I must “hunger and thirst for righteousness” if I want the following results.
Psalm 107:9
9 For He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with good.
1 Chronicles 16:1, 8
16 So they brought the ark of God and set it in the midst of the tent which David had pitched for it, and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
8 O give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known His doings among the peoples!
Psalm 12:6
6 The words and promises of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times over.
Proverbs 3:7
7 Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil.
