Evening — October 27 — Numbers 22:6

So please come now and put a curse on this people, because they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I may be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land; for I know that those you bless are blessed, and those you curse are cursed.” — Numbers 22:6Blessing does not flow from human worth but from God's free choice to bless. The beatitudes redefine the blessed as those who have nothing to offer — the poor, the mourners, the meek. True blessing belongs to those who hear God's word and obey, a gift that opens the gate to eternal life. All of grace, from start to finish.
