The fourth characteristic of a Kingdom walk is revealed in one who hungers and thirsts for righteousness. It is the strong desire to be more like Christ—a desire that propels us to change—a desire, not to remain as we are. Until we seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, we will remain hungry and parched. The Kingdom life requires a Kingdom walk of righteousness and perseverance. We must hunger and thirst until we have been filled. Though hunger pains are never pleasant, there is a sanctifying and cleansing work that is accomplished within us. There is also something very special about the taste of food and water after a long fast. Deprivation usually brings appreciation.
