Matt was sharing with me the other day on the subject of Righteousness. He has been re-reading and studying on the topic of living to be righteous...desiring righteousness and came across a great analogy that has been whirling through my head all day today. Forgive me on the credits, I am not certain of the author he is reading but here is the description:
"The desire of wanting to be righteous is best described as a craving. This guy compares this intense and specific craving to his wife's odd craving while being pregnant. At 11:30 every night she craved a Big Mac from McDonald's...and the only McDonald's in town was (of course) on the opposite side and furthest fast food restruant from their home...on top of that there was a Burger King just at the end of their block, but she cringed at the thought of a Burger King hamburger...it HAD to be a Big Mac."
We should have a craving to be righteous that is as "picky", specific, consistant as this man's pregnant wife's 11:30 Big Mac cravings!!
On another note, as most of you know, Matt just finished Law School a week ago and on top of all the studying he has done for the past two and a half years and the studying he will be doing in about two weeks for the Bar Exam...he chooses to study on how to be a more righteous man.
This is one of the many reasons why he never ceases to amaze me and in turn inspires me to be a more righteous woman of our Most Awesome God!
