The Beatitudes are teaching is about how the opposite of God's
character is held in high esteem by the world. We look at what the
world values and realize how alike we really are. We don't want to be
with our minds but it's still very human and tempting. We are being
taught through encourgement and promises that it's truly a wonderful
blessing to resist temptations and love God.
I see temptations all around me, slowly becoming idols. I struggle
with remaining on the good and narrow path because I'm distracted by
the illusion and lies of better things I deserve. Basic truth is that
I don't deserve anything other than he'll and I must live my life with
so much appreciation and adoration of God's workmanship revealed
through His Son and the created universe.
Thank You Father Gid for investing in a fallen man like me. I pray
Lord that I choose wisely and with Your mighty hand in each
situation. Love You! In the most wonderful name Christ Jesus I pray,
amen!
