Head to the Sermon on the Mount course and open Week 5 — Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness.
This is the week the ladder shifts. Four weeks of emptying — poor in spirit, mourn, meek. Now we move into the filling. And it starts not with doing more, but with wanting the right thing.
Jesus is not describing mild interest in righteousness. He is describing consuming, desperate craving. And He makes one of the most specific promises in the entire Sermon on the Mount to the man who gets there.
We also take an honest look at the six substitutes most men are using to fill a hunger only God can satisfy — and the damage they do while they are doing it.
Drop a comment below: What do you most reach for when the craving hits — and how satisfied do you feel after? Name the substitute. This is the inventory that starts the week.
Let's go!
