Today’s Scripture: “God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. Matthew 5:4 NLT
I realize I need God. Jesus tells us we are blessed when we realize our need for God. When we mourn our spiritual bankruptcy we are blessed.
The human experience makes us desire to arrive at a place where we no longer need. Jesus however teaches us we have arrived when we realize we are in need. We are taught by man we should strive to be at a place of holiness and purity.
Jesus tells us we should strive to be at a place of His holiness and His purity. We can not reach this place on our own. We can hope to be pure. We can hope to be spiritually fit. However, we are truly blessed and truly happy when we come to grasp that we are incapable but it is Him in us that is fully capable.
Yes we are blessed when we are lowest for it is there we realize it is Him.
Are your spiritually poor? Great, you are blessed!
Today’s Prayer: Father God, I thank You for my brokenness. Because I am spiritually poor I realize my need and reliance on You. LORD, I confess I am incapable of being pure but In You I am blessed and filled with Your love and Your Spirit. In You I am blessed. Amen
