Matthew 5:6
We live in a world where there are many choices thrown at us or presented to us each day. We, as Christians, have a choice to make each morning as we start our days. Will we hunger and thirst after righteousness or will we eat from the table of this world? Our verse says, “Blessed are they which do” so again, we have a choice to make.
We certainly do not want to grieve the Holy Spirit. Our spiritual health, strength and energy will depend upon what it is we are putting in our tank. A long distant runner would not live off on a diet of fried food, junk food or bottle after bottle of soda and expect to run and finish the race. Spiritually speaking we can’t live off the worlds table and be fit for this race we are running. We are carrying the banner of the Lord Jesus Christ as we run this race in the time we have been given. May we choose wisely and in doing so we will bring glory to God and be a light in a dark and lost world. A godly appetite will lead to a godly life for all to see. Our testimony will either bring glory or shame to God. What choices will you make? What line will you draw today? Because the choices you make will dictate the life you live.
