Hello friend.
I hope you're in good health.
I wanted to read scripture with you before you started your day.
In scripture,
Reading is taken from the book of Matthew,
Chapter 5,
Verse 1 through 11.
This is what's typically referred to as the B attitude.
The B attitude.
What your attitude should be.
What your default setting should be.
Attitudes we all aspire to have.
All right.
I'm reading now.
Read along with me.
Get your Bible and let's read along.
Seeing the crowds,
He went up on the mountain and when he sat down,
His disciples came to him.
And he opened his mouth and taught them saying,
Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy.
Blessed are the poor in heart for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in heaven for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Let these words sink in and let these words permeate your heart.
Think on these things,
Reflect on these words and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
