Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. (Matthew 5:6)
What does righteousness mean? Righteousness is the righteousness of God, God manifests His righteousness in the Bible. The words of the Bible are the words of God, they are the righteousness of God.
Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the word of righteousness. (Hebrews 5:13)
Here it says that the word of the Bible are the word of righteousness, the word of the Bible are the word of God, and the righteousness of God.
Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” (Matthew 4:4)
Here it says that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word of God, the spiritual food, If we hunger and thirst for righteousness and hunger and thirst for God’s word, we will be blessed, and we will be filled. This is spiritual satisfaction.
Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare. (Isaiah 55:1-2)
Here God wants those who are thirsty to come to the waters; to eat and drink the good things He has given them for free, and to be satisfied. The water here refers to the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, and God Himself. If we listen to God’s words and seek after God, we can eat good things, be satisfied, have God’s presence, and receive the joy from God and the joy in our spirit. 🙏😀
