The Gravity of Righteousness

There is a mighty gravity,
A singularity,
Large it looms.
Inevitable, inescapable, unfathomable - 
A gravity that all-consumes.
Eternity lies at its horizon,
Drawing hungry hearts
and thirsty spirits
to His will.
"So come to the waters,
You who thirst;
And you have no money,
Come, buy and eat."
"All you hunger and thirst
For righteousness
Shall be filled."


Today I beheld a vision of a black hole, and I heard the Spirit of God say Matthew 5:6, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” I understood this in part, but still the overall meaning was abstruse. A black hole is inescapable. Jesus also said that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will not escape having that hunger be filled and that thirst be quenched. But what does these two things mean? I believe God was showing me that just as nature abhors a vacuum, righteousness (right-standing between God and man or between man and man) also abhors a vacuum, and those who desire it shall receive it. 

If you seek righteousness, know that the only way is through Jesus the Messiah: 

1 Corinthians 5:21

21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.


“Ho! Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.


Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.

  1. This is beautiful. As Christians, I think that sometimes we take for granted how readily righteousness has been made to us. It becomes cheap because we don't realize how hard it is to come by without Jesus. I pray that anyone truly hungering and thirsting for righteousness sees how readily Jesus has made this for us. What a hope-filled article!
