🌿 Kingdom Living Devotional — Day 5

Day 5 — A Holy Appetite

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.”
— Matthew 5:6, NASB1995

🍞 What Are You Craving?

This verse pierces straight to the heart. What do you hunger for most? Comfort? Success? Approval? Or do you long for righteousness—for a life that reflects the holiness, justice, and love of God?

Jesus speaks here of a craving deeper than a passing desire. It’s the hunger of a soul starving to be made right with God and to live rightly before Him. It’s the thirst that refuses to be quenched by anything this world offers. And the promise? Those who hunger like this will be satisfied—not someday, but even now, in the deep joy of knowing Him.

🕯 Ante-Nicene Reflection

The early Christian women lived in a culture filled with indulgence, but their hunger was for righteousness. They fasted regularly—not to earn God’s favor but to train their hearts to long for what is holy. Their satisfaction didn’t come from status or ease, but from walking in obedience and hope of the life to come.

💭 Reflect

• What do my daily choices say about what I’m hungering for?
• Do I truly crave righteousness—or do I settle for lesser things?

🙏 Prayer

Father, awaken in me a deep hunger for righteousness. Let me long for Your Word, Your will, and Your ways more than anything this world could offer. Satisfy my soul with You alone. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
