Today’s Inspiration: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”Matthew 5:3 NIV The fragility, vulnerability and uncertainty of life reveals the truth, reality and revelation of God’s love, mercy and grace in the working daily. In fact we all know Christ not because of our wholesomeness but brokenness.

How can one who is poor in the spirit inherit the kingdom of God? It depicts a picture of a sinner that is condemned to death just like the thief at the Cross, who doesn’t deserve eternal life but be judged for what he did. And Jesus saved his soul and gave him a new life eternally by His grace. The poor in spirit reflects our dependency, surrender, and humility before God. Then He is greater and we are lesser. John 3:30

Prayer: O Lord my God, when we realise how poor we are without you, can we truly be set apart to understand how rich can we be in Christ, through Christ and be like Christ. The worldly things empties us but the kingdom God edifies us. How can we ignore such a blessed assurance of eternal life, revelation and liberation from our sins through Christ? Give us our daily bread that we be more of you and less of us, in Jesus Name, Amen.
