Out of touch with our own poverty of spirit"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:3 Poor in spirit = “Where would I be without God?” “…those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Luke 18:14b App: The way up is downHe is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2Peter 3:9c …the Lord disciplines the one He loves,and He chastens everyone He accepts as His son. Hebrews 12:6All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time.1Peter 5:5b-6What is God’s Spirit speaking into your life today?
