Be Filled

Read: Isaiah 58:6–12

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Matthew 5:6

The horrific assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. happened at the height of the American civil rights movement of the 1960s. But just four days later, his widow Coretta Scott King courageously took her husband’s place in leading a peaceful protest march. Coretta had a deep passion for justice and was a fierce champion of many causes.

Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” (Matthew 5:6). We know that someday God will come to deliver justice and right every wrong, but until that time, we have the opportunity to participate in making God’s justice a reality on earth, just like Coretta did. Isaiah 58 paints a vivid picture of what God calls His people to do: loose the chains of injustice . . . set the oppressed free . . . share your food with the hungry . . . provide the poor wanderer with shelter . . . clothe [the naked], . . . and [do not] turn away [from those who need help]” (vv. 6–7). Seeking justice for the oppressed and the marginalized is one way our lives point back to God. Isaiah writes that His people seeking justice is like the light of dawn and results in healing for them as well as for others (v. 8).

Today, may God help us cultivate a hunger for His righteousness here on earth. As we seek justice His way and in His power, the Bible says we’ll be satisfied. — Karen Pimpo

What’s one injustice that draws your attention? How could you take a step toward doing what’s just and right today?

Give me a hunger for justice, God. Help me be a part of Your work in doing what’s right.

Bible in a year: Genesis 39–40; Matthew 11

He is the man Ronald Reagan had a pretty lengthy conversation with at the Arrow Flight memorial service at Ft Campbell. Everyone wondered who he was.

Good evening, Pro...you are most welcome.

Warmer weather yet? Energy returning more each day?

THANK YOU
for your service!

[TigerHawk]

HEY, KATHY,

HOPE YOU’RE STAYING WARM. DOWN HERE WE WONDER IF IT’S GOING TO GET COLD OR NOT. WHERE YOU ARE YOU DON’T HAVE TO WONDER ABOUT THAT.

GOOD POST TONIGHT.

I HAD AN UNSPOKEN RULE FOR MYSELF. IF I EVER HEARD THE COMMAND, “FIX BAYONETS!”, I WAS GOING HOME.

KEEP THE FAITH.

[TigerHawk]

HEY, RADU,

HOW’S IT GOING IN YOUR PART OF THE WORLD?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hope you and Mrs Mayor had a relaxing weekend and are ready to take on the new week.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, robowombat, for adding to his story.

[PROCON]

Hi Kathy, I'm feeling stronger everyday, thanks for asking.

Our snow is mostly melted and a bit warmer weather is expected now, no complaints.

[radu]

Howdy, TigerHawk.

Things are decent enough here. Sunny and almost warm today and it’ll be even warmer this week, though it’s going to be soggy. I can deal with soggy better than I can with icy so no complaints.

How are things up your way?

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Nice to see there wasn’t any snow up there today. I did see a heck of a thick fog bank for a while over towards your area though. I hope you didn’t have to get out in that mess.

Did your ducks ever show up last night?

[TigerHawk]

ABOUT THE SAME AS YOURS. NO SNOW, NO HARD FREEZE YET. LOWER TO MID 40’S, SUNNY’ISH. MID JANUARY! CAN’T HATE IT. CLIMATE CHANGE YA CAN’T ARGUE AGAINST!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...weather good at home?

Any parachute jumpers?

[radu]

You didn’t get the deep freeze everyone else got over Christmas? Lucky you!
We’ve been mighty nippy but not that cold again and I don’t want it to get that cold again. For this part of the country, that was a bit much!

For up there, 40s is pretty darn nice. We have 60s coming up this week and that’ll feel nice, even with the rain. We really do need cold weather, though, to kill off more bugs. This is way too warm for mid January ..... but I kinda like it. LOL
