How do we know that God blesses those who hunger for righteousness?

Jesus states, 'Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled' (Luke 6:21). This hunger speaks to a deep spiritual yearning for righteousness and a recognition that true righteousness cannot be produced by human efforts. Believers often experience physical hunger, which aligns with their spiritual hunger for the things of God. Their longing reflects their understanding of total depravity and the necessity of God's grace. Paul attests to this in Philippians, where he explains the duality of experiencing hunger and abundance while being content in Christ. Those who actively seek righteousness can trust in God's provision, both for temporal needs and spiritual fulfillment.
