Blessed: Unlocking the Power of the Beatitudes

DAY 4 OF 9

I’m hungry, I’m thirsty

For a long time, I never truly understood this verse. I think that is because I defined righteousness as doing the morally right thing by human standards. Using this definition it’s extremely difficult to see how we can be filled, especially when we look around and see injustice, division, immoral leaders, the list goes on. But as soon as I changed the definition of righteousness to right standing with God, it all became clear. All I had to do was remember my times in the presence of God when I had been hungry and thirsty for him and left his presence whole and feeling full. As ever, Jesus is right!

Questions for reflection: Am I hungry and thirsty for righteousness? Have I allowed the Holy Spirit to fill me and make me whole? What would it look like for me to regularly spend time in the presence of the Lord?

About this Plan

Blessed: Unlocking the Power of the Beatitudes

What if true blessing isn’t about wealth, success, or comfort—but about something far greater? In the Beatitudes, Jesus reveals a powerful, countercultural way to experience God’s kingdom in everyday life. Over the next nine days, we’ll dive deep into what it means to be poor in spirit, how mourning brings comfort, why meekness leads to inheritance, and how hungering for righteousness fills our souls. We’ll also explore mercy, purity, peacemaking, and the reality of persecution. Through reflection, scripture, and real-life application, this plan will challenge and transform your understanding of what it truly means to be blessed.
