An Assistant who has thirst

This is another article talking about the beatitudes, which are a revelation from God directly to His servants.

We have already spoke about three and today we will highlight another with a sincere hope that each assistant becomes aware of the richness that exists in every teaching, but especially on the importance of putting them into practice.

It is very easy to obtain knowledge, in fact, many are full of beautiful words and know many beautiful teaching in which they agree and find very important, but the problem is that they don’t bring it to their day-to-day life. They don’t apply it to their life.

It is important to be clear, my friends, that it’s not worth anything just knowing the teachings if we don’t constantly practice the Word of God.

We just need to use our intelligence and think: What kind of benefit do we have in just being aware that exercise is good for your health, but not do it? Or to know that proper nutrition is the most effective way to stay healthy if we continue to have terrible eating habits?
Can you understand it now? Words alone are completely worthless if there isn’t sacrifice, a surrender. This is something that only you can do for yourself, no one can work out for you or change your eating habits, you must do it yourself. The same applies when we talk about using our faith, no one can use it for you. It’s something only you exclusively can do.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
 for they shall be filled.” (Matthew 5:6) 

What is justice after all?

Generally, what immediately comes to mind when we talk about justice is injustice. Sadly, there are many assistants that nourish this supposed sense of “Injustice” inside of them.  This happens when they feel misunderstood, misinterpreted, when someone calls their attention for no apparent reason. Her “hunger” and “thirst” is in favor of her selfishness, in not looking bad, in wanting to see her problems and dilemmas solved.

This righteousness is something very deep, which has no connection to our exterior.

It is about having hunger and thirst to see God in your life;
Hunger and thirst to please God above your own will;
Hunger and thirst to live only by your faith;
Hunger and thirst to be sensitive to God’s call;
Hunger and thirst to glorify God with your life, by being righteous with your actions;
Hunger and thirst to have God’s direction and inspiration in your life, to help the afflicted;
Those people will be satisfied!

Unfortunately, many have left the faith because their hunger and thirst was for a wrong type of justice. They did not know how to wait on God and take advantage of the difficulties to become stronger.

Based on today’s article, I ask you, have you ever analyzed the beatitudes in this way before?

  1. I have never looked at this beatitude in this way it was really deep…It spoke to me a lot and made me analyse myself further . I have a few things to fix up on . To do this alone would be impossible. It’s too much of a difficult task to even try and find righteousness in ourselves. Living for someone else is a challenge and takes dependency on God, faith in God and waiting on God . But just as was said in the post, it’s all well and good that I’ve read this lost and got this knoweledge bt what reay matters is what I will do with it next. Thanks so much for this post.

  4. Unfortunately this is how many are including myself and it happens to everyone, not only serving God, but in little targets that we set. First we are so excited and full of fire to complete and see results but after a few days there is just no energy at all. As you said in the end the thirst was not real, which is totally true, and i apply this to myself even more as i have been doing for some months now to not allow anything to stop me.

  5. This is a Wonderful message,

    For my thirst to be quenched it is necessary for me to seek for righteousness and justice of God.
    to please God above my own will;
    I have learnt to be righteous is:to live only by your faith; to be sensitive to God’s call;to glorify God with my life, by being righteous with my actions;to have God’s direction and inspiration in my life, to help the afflicted;

  6. Thanks for the revelation my hunger and thirst should always be to please God and to do what is right before him rather than my selfish desires.
