Lord, May we all be as patient as you were to us, as we pray for those to turn to you, as the one who can save them from there sins, just as you saved us from ours.

Actions speak louder than words. Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only who delude themselves.

The world’s definition of poor is to be without Gods favor, but God’s favor is clearly opposite See notes below).

Blessed. The word lit. means “happy, fortunate, blissful.” Here it speaks of more than a surface emotion. Jesus was describing the divinely-bestowed well-being that belongs only to the faithful. The Beatitudes demonstrate that the way to heavenly blessedness is antithetical to the worldly path normally followed in pursuit of happiness. The worldly idea is that happiness is found in riches, merriment, abundance, leisure, and such things. The real truth is the very opposite. The Beatitudes give Jesus’ description of the character of true faith. poor in spirit. The opposite of self-sufficiency. This speaks of the deep humility of recognizing one’s utter spiritual bankruptcy apart from God. It describes those who are acutely conscious of their own lostness and hopelessness apart from divine grace (cf. 9:12 ; Lk 18:13 ). See note on 19:17 . theirs is the kingdom of heaven. See note on 3:2 . Notice that the truth of salvation by grace is clearly presupposed in this opening verse of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus was teaching that the kingdom is a gracious gift to those who sense their own poverty of spirit.

Happy New Year Everybody. May the Lord give us all clear vision this year(Get it, 2020 😊). May we remember to dream big dreams, but submit to his guiding, on the path he wants us to go ( Prov 16:9). I pray the Lord will bless us, as we seek to serve him, this coming year. Pray 4 a new ministry I have been asked to sit on their board. It’s called Nurses and Angels. They presently, are setting up a free clinic in El Salvador, to provide medical services and biblical counseling, in this tumultuous, gang violent country. They have 4 armed guards with machine guns protecting them while our people, are their. They are also looking to also set up a free traveling clinic, here in California, to serve the homeless and people like immigrant workers, who are in need. Hope your day is blessed.
