Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand
strong in the face of sexual temptation.
Passage: Matthew 5:6*
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for
they shall be satisfied."
Questions
1. What does it mean to be "righteous?"
2. Have you ever wanted to be righteous more than food and water?
3. The world would invite us to pursue the opposite of this, what
would that be?
4. Why do you think this one follows "Blessed are the
gentle?"
Practical help
As you continue to trust the Lord to change your character and
control your life (see yesterdays study on "Meekness") your appetites will
change. Instead of Internet Smut, you will begin to develop a hunger and thirst for a
noble life. You will ache to become more like Jesus, and when you are not, you will return
to poverty of spirit, mourning over your sins and resubmitting your life to the
Lord’s control. And what will that result in? You will be satisfied.
