Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of God. Matt. 5:3 “A poor man is not disposed to quick and high resentment when he is among the rich: he is apt to yield to others, for he knows others are above him: he is not stiff and self-willed; he is patient with hard fare; he expects no other than to be despised, and takes it patiently; he does not take it heinously that he overlooked and but little regarded; he is prepared to be in a lowly place; he honours his superiors; he takes reproofs quietly and willingly; he readily honours others as above him; he easily yields to be taught, and does not claim much to his understanding and judgment; he is not over nice or humoursome, and has his spirit subdued to hard things; he is not assuming, nor apt to take much upon him, but it is natural for him to be subject to others. Thus it is with the humble Christian.” Place your name in the blanks this morning FB friends: "The Spirit of the Lord is on ____________, because he has anointed _____________ to preach the good news to the poor.(poor in health, poor in friends, poor in happiness, poor in the gospel, poor in family, poor in comfort, poor in acceptance of the past, poor in vision, poor in self esteem, poor in-you name it-) He has sent____________to proclaim freedom for the prisoners(those that place themselves in bondage) and recovery of sight for the blind(think spiritual blindness not physical;) to release the oppressed."
