Beatitudes
What are they?
Why are they important?
The Beatitudes were a series of blessings declared by Jesus during His “Sermon on the Mount” found in the Gospels of Matthew.
Seek Christ’s Peace
Today I will seek Christ’s peace with His sword of truth. His sword is His Word and His words divide truth from untruth, light from darkness, faith from unbelief; He presents us with choices. There are happy pagans and comfortable atheists, so why do we need Christ in...
Be A Living Sacrifice
Today I will be a living sacrifice, not by giving up things for the sake of giving them up, but for loosening the bands that prevent me from offering myself—my life, my possessions, my energy— to God’s will and life with Him.Genesis 22:12 Do not do anything to...
Seek A Deeper Vision Of God
Today I will seek a deeper vision of God, that I may be more deeply inspired by Him and have a greater vitality for the life I have been given. This vision may take patience and its message may be as profound as “God is on His throne.”
Walk By Faith, Not By Sight
Today I will walk by faith, not by sight, believing that Christ is always beside me, even when I do not see or feel His presence.
Invite Love To Burst Upon Me
Today I will welcome, invite, await spontaneous love to burst upon me. I will not attempt to concoct, manufacture or create love, for that is impossible. Yes, I will engage in prayer, study, and others means to make myself available to God’s love, but it is not my efforts that will produce love, but God within me.
Embrace Uncertainty And Believe
Today I will stop putting my faith in strategizing about life, calculating what is best for me and fearing uncertainty, and simply believe in Christ, loyally waiting for Him to enter my life in unexpected ways.
Decide To Listen, Not Ignore
Today I will confess my stubbornness and hard heartedness and decide to listen to the Lord, not ignore Him.Ezekiel 3:7, 27But the people of Israel will refuse to listen to you because they refuse to listen to Me. As I told you, the Israelites are a hard-headed,...
Avoid The Trap: Seek God For Who He Is
Seek God for who He is, not for what He can do for me. I will avoid the trap of seeking a relationship with the things God gives me and not God himself.
Act, Whether Inspired Or Not
Today I will not make a god out of my best days, being dependent on God’s inspiration and acting only when divinely inspired.
Rejoice In God’s Works, Not Mine
Today I will rejoice in the ultimate joy which is salvation through Christ. This joy is found only in the unshakable kingdom of God.
