847) I love the holiday season, beginning with Thanksgiving and culminating in Christmas. There are many reasons for this but one of them is because I can cook some of our favorite dishes. My little dog loves the holidays, too, because he gets to “guard” the turkey in the oven as it cooks. He sits there, hoping to get a piece of the bird. After all the food has been prepared, I’m usually starving (if I haven’t snacked too much in the process). I am hungry for it.

Matthew 5:6 speaks about being hungry, not for food but for righteousness. Jesus said that if you cultivate the desire for righteousness (or right-ness), you will be filled. I think this goes back to the idea that if you make the choice to live by God’s directions, your life will be a better one, which leads to a supernatural peace and calm.

What are you hungry for?
