DAILY WISDOM “Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift [is like] clouds and wind without rain.” [Proverbs 25:14] FOOD FOR THOUGHT DO PEOPLE SEE GOD IN YOU? Matthew 5:1-12 In this passage, Jesus gives us some of the attributes of God. When you get saved, they should be demonstrated in your life: 1. God is “poor in spirit” or tenderhearted. Are you keeping a tender heart? Or is your heart made of stone. 2. God mourns. Remember “Jesus wept”? Do you mourn for others? We walk between the dead and the dying. 3. God is meek. Are you meek? Meekness is not weakness but rather power under control. 4. God desires righteousness. Do you want righteousness so much that you hunger and thirst for it? What is righteousness? Righteousness is doing what is right. 5. God is merciful. Are you merciful? You might think the other person does not deserve your mercy. You are right, but neither do you deserve God’s. That is the point about mercy. 6. God is “pure in heart”. He never does anything out of the wrong motivation. Are you the same? 8. God is a peacemaker because He is the Prince of Peace. Do you try to be peaceful with others? 9. God is persecuted in this world. Are you? Do people hate you and despise you for no apparent reason? If everyone like you too much, you must not being “salt” very well. RELIGIOUS AWARENESS I have finished going over the “major” world religions. Please let me know if that was a blessing to you or not. Thanks.
