Blessed are the poor in spirit Matt 5:3

Alrighty! Knock off at work, went for a jog cum walk (have to walk cause no stamina) and now i'm just going to do a quick write on some thoughts.

Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (NKJV)

I couldn't understand how the poor in spirit could be bless. But now i see the point in being hungry and in need of God. Thirsty for His word everyday is indeed a blessing.

In other words, We are to be envied and congratulated if we see our spiritual need of the King who teaches us how to:
1) Admit our spiritual bankruptcy
2) Mourn our wrongs rather than defending ourselves.
3) Inherit the earth rather than trying to conquer it.
4) Hunger for the kind of rightness that makes us merciful.
5) See God with our hearts rather than with our eyes.
6) Be peacemakers rather than warmongers.
7) Be punished for trying to help others rather than hurt them (5:3-12).
- I never thought of vs 3-112 in such a manner before. Be pinished for trying to help others rather than letting them be hurt. Ouch.. and not only that i might not be appreciated.

That's all from me today.
