Have you ever heard the phrase, "If you know better, you do better?" I wish this was true but unfortunately there are many of us who don't always choose better and sometimes we entertain the fool in us. We all have to come to the honest conclusion that there is a fool in all us whether we want to believe it or not, but God has wisdom and God wants to give wisdom to those who ask.

In Psalm 1:1-3, we see what it means to blessed biblically, and if we don't learn what makes us blessed we will live in a constant state of stress and depression trying to get there. Stress is often a symptom and a sign of chasing the wrong things. We want you to pursue God. Why? Because when you think things make you blessed you can have a lot and still not have enough. You can have more than enough and it still not be enough. You can have so much, you can have "everything" and still feel like something is missing. If we don't define blessed biblically and Scripturally, culture will define it carnally.

Jesus tells Thomas, "Blessed are those who cannot see." What does that mean? It's because even though Jesus said those words to Thomas, we believe in Him without having to see Him for ourselves. We don't have to see Him to know He is working on our behalf. We don't have to see every part of the plan to know that it is good. All we have to do is lean on Him and trust that He has everything under control for He is faithful.

Blessed and happy are not the same thing. In this message we look at the verses that are a written record of the first public sermon and teaching of Jesus. Believed to be the greatest sermon ever preached knows as the Sermon on the Mount. The introduction of this message is called the Beatitudes which translate as meaning the Blessings or supreme blessedness. Deeper than just happy, it means deeply satisfied, spiritually prosperous, approved by God, living in divine favor, experiencing soul=level wholeness. Don't you want to be blessed?
