Matthew 5:6 : Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed. The word, first applied to God, means more than ‘happy.’ Happiness may come from earthly things; blessedness comes from God.
Hunger and thirst for righteousness: We see Christians hungering for many things: power, authority, success, comfort, happiness - but how many hunger and thirst for righteousness?
The relationship of a child of God will be manifested in the world by his shining and burning as a light for Christ, by his quiet and savory influence in society, and by his conformity to the Word of God in all things.
