Thirst for Righteousness (Matthew 5:6) by Clara Mitchell 11/15/2024
Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. KJV Thirst for Righteousness by Clara Mitchell 11/15/2024 Going through a drought? (dry and thirsty land Psalm 63:1) Dry springs cannot quench my thirst for righteousness. Sipping here and there is too small a portion. Righteousness is scarce. I need to drink from a well of salvation. A well of living water. When I find this water, I will drink until I am full. I am like the wildlife in the forest-- seeking the scent of water. I remember Psalm 42:1 As the deer panteth for the water, So my heart pants after thee. The scripture is more clear When I stand in a dry and thirsty land. (Psalm 63:1) The silence while I seek for water opens my senses in a new way. The moist air grows more dense. I see the water, Closing in now, I extend my hands as a cup, I drink and drink and drink. Righteousness fills me up.
