Are You Hungry or Thirsty?

Blessed and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous (in that state in which the born-again child of God enjoys His favor and salvation) are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), for they shall be completely satisfied! Matthew 5:6 Amplified
 
Seeking righteousness? But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things (what we should eat, drink and wear) shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33. Righteousness is right living—seeking to please God by the way you live, think and speak with integrity, virtue, and purity. Time, opportunity and choice. We all have each of those…time, opportunity and choice. We have to make our own choices in life. Do you choose to seek righteousness? The promise in this beatitude is a blessed and spiritually prosperous life for wanting to live right before God.           

RSVP:  Jesus is calling you to live a righteous, holy life before our Father God. How will you respond to Him today? Choose wisely.

Prayer ~ Jesus as I seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, bless those around me…my family, friends, and neighbors…with Your love, shown through me. Give me the courage to do and say the right things.

More zucchini in the garden…what to do? Too hot to cook? How about a nice salad with zucchini.

Course sea salt
Fresh ground pepper
1½ pounds fresh zucchini, thinly sliced
