God will bless people who are ravenous and parched for a life that God wants. They will be given enough to fill even their large stomachs. (personal paraphrase of Jesus words in Matthew5:6)
I’ve been reading through Matthew 5 this week as part of a daily e-mail I get. Today Matthew 5:6 struck me, especially in the Old English translation of the KJV. I want that kind of a drive. I will make times for rest and I will make time for important people in my life, that’s part of the pursuit of a life that God wants. I just want to embrace these moments and the moments of action on behalf of the poor and hurting with energy and life and passion.
This week, that means making a few extra phone calls to connect with guys who I have some influence with. And it means getting some nitty-gritty stuff done that I don’t really enjoy. Pray with me that I’ll embrace phone calls I enjoy and seemingly tedious things with passion and an eye for the long-term outcomes.
