Blessed are the poor in spirit

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven...Matthew 5:3.

 

Blessed are you when you say I cannot do it without you God for yours is the kingdom of Heaven…Jesus is said to be humble and obedient to the Father’s will. He is our example to follow. He humbled Himself as a Human and died on the cross and was raised from the dead in order that we may choose no evil or wrong deed. Jesus died to free us and our decisions from this evil world. Do you depend on God…everyday all day long or just sometimes? Are we not all just beggars begging God for salvation and grace to sustain us one day at a time?

 

Jesus said…Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven...Matthew 18:3-4. The poor in spirit says daddy I cannot unless we do it together…or daddy can I…daddy will you…daddy look what they done to me. How can an adult depend on God like a child…Jesus said unless we are converted like a child we cannot enter the kingdom of God…we have to learn dependence on God as a child does his parents. Perhaps we should have we (me and God) attitude instead of a me can do it attitude. A what are Jesus and I going to do today attitude.

 

It is written God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble…do you want God’s favor in your life then we must learn to be humble and depend on God like a child does his parents and when we are fully converted like a child depending on God for everything in our lives…then the kingdom of heaven is ours to share with its King Jesus.

 

Can you live your life without Jesus…yes or no? Jesus said you will hold on to Him and despise the world or you will love Him and hate the world. Which do you do…hold on to Jesus and despise having to live in the world with its lusts that tempts us or do you love (obey) God and hate the world for having temptations?

 

Prayer

Father please help us fully be converted like a child and may we continue to depend on You for our very existence please meet our soul’s deepest needs so we may prosper and be in health as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
