60 Seconds of Hope with Horace McMillon
We Shall Be Satisfied

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.” — Matthew 5:6
The hunger and thirst named here is not casual or mild.
It is intense and urgent.
This is the hunger of deprivation and the thirst of desperation—
the kind that rises when something essential for life is missing.
To hunger and thirst for righteousness is to long for it
the way a suffocating person longs for their next breath.
It is a matter of life itself.
This longing grows in those who are poor in spirit
and deepens in those who mourn.
We feel the urgency to see what is wrong in the world made right.
The commitment to see this hunger and thirst satisfied
takes root in the meek—
in those who become spiritually disciplined and self-controlled.
And here is the promise our faith holds before us:
We shall be completely satisfied.
The fulfillment may be delayed,
but the promise will never be denied.
So we stay hungry.
We stay thirsty.
We keep walking,
keep working,
refusing to settle for a world
less than what God has promised.
God will fill what is empty—
with justice,
with mercy,
and with a righteousness
that endures. Amen.
I’m Horace McMillon.
This is 60 Seconds of Hope.
Peace be with you.
