今天你"渴慕"什麼？你渴慕神的事物還是渴慕肉體的欲望？

神的話語說："饑渴慕義的人有福了，因為他們必得滿足"。（馬太福音5:6）當我們將我們的事物與公義結合起來時，我們會發現自己是有福的，滿足的，充實的！ 世界和肉體分散了我們的注意力，使我們遠離純潔、聖潔、公義和真正滿足我們靈魂的事物！我們必須將我們的事物與公義結合起來。我們必須用真正滿足我們的事物重新調整我們的事物！

公義，顧名思義，是指符合神的或道德的法律的行為：沒有罪過或罪惡（韋氏字典）。渴慕公義，本質上就是渴慕一切與天堂和上帝對我們生命的目的相一致的事物。與天堂一致的生活是一種沒有內疚、罪惡、羞恥和責備的生活。不要誤以為渴慕公義是一種充滿表現和完美的生活。它是一種不惜一切代價保持一致的屬靈態度。當我們失敗時，我們會重新站起來。當我們犯罪時，我們懺悔，並跑回天父身邊。當我們受到誘惑時，我們把我們的感情轉向基督。這就像磁力一樣，把我們拉回什麼是好的，什麼是正確的，什麼是神聖的！這就是否認肉體，這就是拒絕肉體。這是在刻苦己心，每天向我們自己死。

你是否曾經如此強烈地渴慕某種事物，以至於在得到它之前什麼都不能滿足？當我們渴慕神的事物，用公義充滿自己時，我們就會得到滿足，發現自己在祂裡面得到了滿足。這個世界上沒有其他事物可以滿足！所有的事物都是暫時的滿足，讓我們在祂裡面得到滿足。所有這些都是暫時的滿足，讓你事物更多的事物！

當我審視自己時，我也邀請你今天審視你的心、思維、生活和行動，評估它們是否與天堂對齊？你是否尋求神的話語作為你的準繩和標準？你是否願意交出一切看起來、聽起來或與祂的神性不相稱的事物？你是否準備好在祂裡面得到充實和滿足？

我看到一張圖片，有人抓著一件他們知道對他們沒有好處的事物，然而他們卻很難放下它。你知道這件事並不真正令人滿意，也不符合神的旨意，然而它卻滿足了你的一部分。我看到天父要求你放下它，用你的心信任祂。與天父為你準備的巨大升級相比，看起來很大的事物實際上是非常小的。今天，當你做出選擇，放下暫時的事物，抓住你的升級時，我宣告你有勇氣。

愛與勇氣。

What are you 'THIRSTY' for today? Are you craving the things of God or the desires of the flesh?

The word of God says, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied." (Matthew 5:6) When we align our thirst with righteousness, we find ourselves blessed, satisfied, full, and content! The world and flesh distract us from what is pure, holy, righteous, and truly satisfying to our souls! We must realign our thirst with what truly satisfies us!

Righteousness, by definition, is acting in accord with divine or moral law: free from guilt or sin (Webster). To thirst for righteousness, is essentially to desire everything that aligns with Heaven and God's purpose for our lives. A life aligned with Heaven, is a life free from guilt, sin, shame, and blame. Don't mistake thirsting for righteousness, as a life full of performance and perfection. It is a heart posture of staying in alignment at all cost. When we fail, we get back up. When we sin, we repent, and run back to the Father. When we are tempted, we turn our affection toward Christ. It's like a magnetic pull back to what is good, what is right, and what is Holy! It's denying the flesh and dying to ourselves daily!
Have you ever craved something so intensely that nothing satisfied until you had it? When we thirst after the things of God and fill ourselves with righteousness, we are satisfied and find ourselves fulfilled in Him. Nothing else in this world will fulfill! All of it is temporary satisfaction, leaving you thirsting for more!

As I examine myself, I also invite you to examine your hearts, thought life, and actions today, and assess if they are in alignment with Heaven? Are you seeking the word of God as your plum line and standard? Are you willing to surrender everything that doesn't look, sound, or resemble His divine nature? Are you ready to be full and satisfied in Him?

I saw a picture of someone holding onto something that they know is not good for them, however they are having a hard time letting it go. You know that this thing is not truly satisfying or in alignment with God's best, however it's fulfilling a part of you. I see the Father asking you to let it go and to trust Him with your heart. What seems big is actually very small in comparison to the giant UPGRADE the Father has for you! I declare COURAGE over you today as you make a choice to let go of the temporary and grab hold of your upgrade!

Love & Courage,
Diane Anil
