The next Beatitude is “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”  This is one of my favorite Beatitudes.  If I am honest, this is an item that I believe I am fairly good at.  I have talked before about the term Harmony and how that is one of my strengthsContinue reading “Blessed are the Peacemakers”

The next Beatitude is “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” This beatitude is a big one but a hard one.  What does it mean to be pure? The general definition of pure is “not mixed or adulterated with any other substance or material.”  Something to compare this to is pureContinue reading “Blessed are the pure in heart”

The fifth Beatitude is “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”  Mercy is one of those words that pops up very often in the Bible.  It holds a lot of meaning and it is definitely a word that a Christian should be very familiar with.  Often the word mercy or merciful getsContinue reading “Blessed are the merciful:”

The fourth Beatitude is “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” The word righteousness here is “acting in accord to a moral or divine law.”  Essentially this is following God’s perfect law.  Therefore, looking at this blessing it is showcasing that people are blessed if they are strivingContinue reading “Bless those who hunger and thirst for righteousness”

A few weeks ago, my devotion was all about the Sermon on the Mount by Jesus with an emphasis on the Beatitudes. The Beatitudes essentially means the supreme blessings that are given by Jesus in this Sermon on the Mount.  These are the incredibly divine blessings that God is going to give the people whoContinue reading “Blessed are the Poor in Spirit”

This past week on Friday I completed my third Freedom Fast for International Justice Mission.  The goal of Freedom Fast is to give up either food or something else of importance for 24 hours as we reflect on our love of God as well as reflect on the needs of those trapped in Modern DayContinue reading “Reflection on Freedom Fast”

Lately I have been thinking a lot about the words that are coming out of my mouth and off my tongue.  Watching the tongue of course doesn’t actually mean to watch your tongue in your mouth.  However, this does mean that a person should watch what they say and the words that are coming offContinue reading “Watching of the Tongue”

Something that I have said multiple times throughout my life, even amongst my blog is the importance of having compassion and showing that compassion to one another.  However, if I am honest I never really thought that much about what compassion actually means by looking at the real definition of the word.  The definition ofContinue reading “Have Compassion on one another”
