| Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Psalm 149:4 He crowns the humble, with salvation
Jesus told people that understanding their bankruptcy would prepare them for the riches of the Kingdom. Was that really a surprise? For a nation that modeled itself after Pharisaical spirituality, it was. But the Bible had made it clear from the beginning; Self sufficient pride is the wrong model.
Self sufficiency continues to be the wrong model. As it was in the Garden and will always be, pride kills. We were not made for independence. There is nothing self sufficient about us other than the ability to get by for a few decades, and even then we depend on God's resources. NO, we were made for absolute dependence. We have a poverty of spirit that only God can enrich. There is a hole in the human heart that no self effort can fill, though we try desperately.
That's our way out.......to quit trying to fill and just be desperate. That's where life with God begins. Do not let desperation drive you to frantic self effort; let it drive you to utter dependence on God. There can be no pride in such a pose, only blessing. God always responds to those who seek Him.
Have a very blessed dependent day on God. feel His presence, with inner peace, comfort and guidance. AMEN
FOR IT IS WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
Today, the devil is dialing 911, for prayers being answered , God's grace is showing loud and clear!

| In my Sunday school lesson a couple of weeks ago, it defined Blessed as: A state of happiness caused by participation in the kingdom of God and the favor of God upon one's life. As I studied that, the first part of the definition should be the one that really gets our attention. We must first participate in the kingdom of God and then you'll receive God's favor in your life. I wonder if sometime we expect the favor and forget the participation? Also, looking at this statement, our happiness is caused by our participation, and not God's favor upon our lives. | |
