DAY FIVE: The Lord here gives eight characters of blessings, verses 3-12.
Verse 6. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.
The Lord gives EIGHT characters of blessed people, which represent to us the true character of a Christian.
4th Description and Blessing: Verse Six.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.”
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.”
The Lord Jesus calls those “blessed” who hunger and thirst after righteousness. He means those who desire above all things to be entirely conformed to the mind and will of God. Those that have the appetites of the new life. As hunger and thirst are the keenest of our appetites, “Taste and see” says the Psalmist. God’s perfect will and purpose for our lives.
“For they shall be filled.”
The word here used denotes the amplest satisfaction “completely satisfied.” Psalm 17:15 “As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in You.” They shall be satisfied, they shall never seek for any other righteousness, in the sight of God; for this righteousness is full, perfect, complete, and entirely whole.
