a slice of God’s Word for the day

  • Those Who Mourn

    Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted (Matthew 5:4). Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh (Luke 6:21). Grieve, mourn and wail… Humble yourselves before the Lord and He will lift you up (James 4:9-10). Come near to God and He will come near to you (James 4:8).

    He has sent me, to announce the year of the Lord’s good will… to comfort all those who grieve. (Isaiah 61:2). I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort them. I will give them joy in place of their sorrow (Jeremiah 31:13).

    My people have been lost sheep (Jeremiah 50:6). Go to the lost sheep… As You go, spread this message: The kingdom of heaven is near (Matthew 10:6-7).

    What I mean, brothers, is that the time is short (1 Corinthians 7:29).

    We are to mourn those who are still lost. None should be denied the choice

  • Poor In Spirit

    Blessed are the poor in spirit – for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:3). How happy are those who know their need for God, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs! (Phillips)

    A poor man pleads for mercy (Proverbs 18:23). The poor will eat and be satisfied; they who seek the Lord will praise Him (Psalm 22:26). This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; He saved him out of all his troubles (Psalm 34:6).

    From Your bounty, O God, You provided for the poor (Psalm 68:10). He has scattered abroad His gifts to the poor (Psalm 112:9).

    Yet I am poor and needy, may the Lord think of me (Psalm 40:17).

    The poor in spirit inherit the Kingdom.
