Matthew 5:6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
We often “swallow” life to keep things the way we want them to be. Whenever we’re anxious or nervous, without even thinking, our hands reach out to put something in our mouths. Food and drink, coffee and toast. We hunger and thirst, and we don’t realize we’re not hungry for a bowl of ice cream or a glass of wine.

We are reaching for inner peace. We aren’t underfed, but we are spiritually undernourished.
During the season of Lent, you and I should have a time of fasting and a time of reflection, of looking inside ourselves. Forty days and nights we do not need, just a short time to think about the days ahead, days full of things that have never been. The answers we need shall be given as we live our lives for Christ.
Leaning on worship, study and prayer – see you in church!
