“Pursue after righteousness.”
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” - Mathew 5:6
We are called unto righteousness and we have become partakers of that Christ-like character. Many times in our lives, even though we are saved through faith, we tend to forget about living a righteous and perfect life, being entangled in the cobwebs of this world.
God is righteous. He expects righteousness from His children too. Those who are filled are those who hunger and thirst to be righteous as He is.
Do you hunger and thirst after righteousness? Do you ask the Spirit to reign in you, to let Him take control of your life?
Righteousness is attained only by the help of God. When you pursue it, you will find ‘life, prosperity and honour ‘ (Proverbs 21:21). Above all, the righteousness of God will abide in you which satisfies every other hunger that you have.
