Matt 5:3 Blessed are the Poor in Spirit
To get in to
God’s kingdom we need to recognize our need of God. In order to grow in our
relationship with God we must recognize how much we are dependent on Him to
overcome sin. In fact we are totally reliant on God for everything good we do.
For those who are materially poor it is often easier not to have an unholy
attachment to material things and trust in God wholeheartedly. For many of us
in the Western world our attachment to things blinds us to our total dependence
in every way on God rather than our strengths, our human relationships, our abilities
and innate capacities. If our attitude of total reliance on God is right
obedience to Him becomes a natural response rather than a huge, seemingly
impossible challenge.
Father
help me to really trust you in everything.
