Luke 5-6
from Daily Devotional With Murphy Eyenike Hosted by Murphy Eyenike
We take today's lessons from the Beautitudes; "Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said, “God blesses you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is yours. God blesses you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied. God blesses you who weep now, for in due time you will laugh. What blessings await you when people hate you and exclude you and mock you and curse you as evil because you follow the Son of Man. When that happens, be happy! Yes, leap for joy! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, their ancestors treated the ancient prophets that same way. " Luke 6:20-23 NLT. Being poor here is not referring to being poor in terms of material wealth. It is about being poor in spirit. Jesus is speaking here about those who know they need God. Those who thirst for God. That has nothing to do with material possession. Hunger here again is not about being hungry for food, no, he is talking about those who hunger for the things of God, Jesus says they will be satisfied, it's a guaranteed outcome. God blesses those who weep now because the Christian call and walk by design comes with persecution. We are persecuted but cannot be consumed. We weep now but in due time, we will laugh. Halleluyah!
