Matthew 5:6 The Beatitudes
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Taste and see. The next time you open a Snickers bar, take a good long look at it.
Really, what is there that's appealing about that right there? I mean, if you didn't know what chocolate tasted like, and you saw one of those laying on the ground... I mean, it's brown, it's long, it's bumpy... Do I really need to spell it out for you? And yet even now I'm trying to resist the urge to go buy one, because I've tasted Snickers and they are GOOD!The Bible says it's the same way with righteousness. If we hunger for it, we will be filled. But how can you hunger for something you've never tried? Righteousness is simply our right standing before God. So spend the rest of today trying to do what God wants you to do, and see how it feels. I bet you develop a taste for it.
