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.
Pay Attention To God In Darkness
Today I will discipline myself to pay attention to God when I am in darkness. I will wait quietly and patiently for His word and not distract myself by frantically seeking answers on my own.
Actively Listen To God’s Voice
Today I will actively listen to God’s voice, conscious that I so easily miss it by my preoccupation with other things. “A lily, or a tree, or a servant of God, may convey God’s message to me.
Take Responsibility For My Belief
Today I will take responsibility for my relationship to God-what I believe and how I shall act-and not fear to hear the voice of God speak to me.
Visualize God, Not My Problems
Today I will use my imagination-my mind-to visualize my God, not my problems; to replenish spiritual energy by mentally bringing each thought into captivity to Christ;
Do What I Must Do
Today I will do what I must to demolish the arguments, ideas, and every high-and-mighty philosophy that pits itself against the knowledge of the one true God.
Nourish Myself on Christ
Today I will nourish myself on Christ that others may be nourished by me.
Bind My Will With Love
Today I will bind my will with cords of love to the altar of the Lord as a living sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving
Obey The Command, Not Look For Proof
In John 2:7-8, we are told to take the water, not the wine. We are to obey the command, not look for the proof.
