Steemchurch: Day # 4 - Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. (Matthew 5: 6)

in #steemchurch6 years ago

It really is one of the blessings that very few are occupied with achieving them, but if we all need it, how hard it is to practice justice in moments of great urgency, only God can give us the necessary strength to achieve mercy.

Look closely at this verse and you will detail that it does not speak of a common hunger or a common thirst, it is speaking spiritually, since humanly speaking we are surrounded by people who only aspire to take justice with their own hands. When you take this kind of attitude, it is impossible for you to achieve this beautiful bliss.

John 4: 31-34
Meanwhile, the disciples begged him, saying: Rabbi, eat.
He told them: I have a food to eat, which you do not know.
Then the disciples said to one another: Has anyone brought him food?
Jesus said to them: My food is to do the will of the one who sent me, and to finish his work.

Here Jesus speaks much more clearly, he wanted his disciples to learn, remember that not only bread will live man, but every word that comes from the mouth of God, and really this must be our way to satisfy what the world He can not do it. It happens that many times we want to take attitudes like the world, we must be firm at all times before the unjust snares that the enemy throws into our lives, and in the same way that Jesus was tempted in the desert by thirst and hunger of that same the way we will be, therefore we are ready at all times.

Romans 14:17
Because the kingdom of God is not food or drink, but justice, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

The apostle Paul clearly teaches us here how the kingdom of heaven is constituted. Our stay on earth is temporary, but we also should not boast about wanting to do whatever we want here on earth, we were called with a great purpose. Therefore, as true children of God, we have sufficient capacity to be able to exercise our own control, not taking revenge for our enemies.

Hunger and thirst is a personal need, that every human being must pass. That I describe as anguish and discouragement because who is that person who has happiness in times of no hunger, but as good soldiers of Christ we must pay penalties, is equal to the result of a mature person in the ways of the Lord.

We must not allow the enemy to steal from us the joy and peace that God has given us, since it is the opposite of hunger, nakedness, danger and death, since greater is the reward of all those people who need God, because they they were satiated, but there must be in us that need to want to attain bliss in God.

The breastplate of justice

This implement of war we must take it by law to battle, because without justice it is impossible that our trunk is protected, not only the trunk but covers a very important organ such as the heart, we know that the heart mana life, and we must protect it as if it were our last day of life here on earth.

We are invited to a great dinner where Jesus will serve us in the kingdom of heaven, not only that, but he went to prepare dwellings, this clearly encourages us to continue in truth and justice, in order to obtain that great reward as it is the carna of incorruptible life that God has prepared for each of those who love him.
