Dikaiosune is the Greek word for righteousness
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6
Hunger and thirst are daily needs,
Not periodic, not seasonal, not passing.
Blessed are those who are driven each day toward dikaiosune, toward righteousness.
Toward discipleship.
Toward obedience.
Toward Christlikeness.
Blessed are those who hunger for right-standing with God,
Who thirst for insight
Who long to put into practice
What God reveals,
What God requires,
What God refines.
Self-righteousness will never satisfy,
But to BE
To DO
To SEE
Like God…
That is Blessed.
So how hungry, how thirsty are you?
