Solomon said, "The laborer's appetite works for him; his hunger drives him on." (Proverbs 16:26)
We are all driven by one appetite or another, one hunger or another. Which one is driving you today? The hunger to provide for your family? The hunger to succeed? The hunger for recognition?
Or the hunger to make a difference in eternity? The hunger to please God? The hunger to change lives?
Jesus said, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." (Matthew 5:6) Let this be the hunger that drives you today: The hunger to do good, the hunger to be good.

Very true but the most important part to that scripture in order to be blessed you must also read on and follow it Matthew 5:13-14 13"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
You see in order to be blessed you must be the salt of the earth, the light to the world. If you are not these things, then verses 1 - 10 don't apply. You see we must be christians to the world and following God's word. It can't be an act, you must be a light that all can see, you life must be salty and full of God's word not just reading, but living.
