How will those who hunger and thirst for righteousness be filled?

Matthew 5:6 (ESV)

6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

It is not clear exactly what the filling envisaged will look like. Some commentators argue that it is a promise for the total satisfaction of need. 1 More likely it refers to the changing desires that come from living according to God’s will. When you seek to honour God in your decisions, you come to realize how wonderful God’s will is and you desire to make further advances in obedience. 2
