What Does It Mean to be Blessed?
Read Matthew 5:2
Today’s Truth
It can be easy to doubt God’s goodness. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus reframes what it means to be truly blessed. To be “blessed” means God has extended His benefits to you.
Are you poor in spirit, right now? Prepare for the kingdom of God to rush into your life. Are you deeply hungry for righteousness and justice? Get ready for God to satisfy you, deeply. God intends to bless you today, not only for your own benefit but for the benefit of others.
