POOR IN SPIRIT
Being poor in spirit is an attitude toward myself that keeps me aware of my total need of God's grace and mercy. Without this attitude, I have no access to the riches of Christ. With it, I have the fullness of the kingdom of heaven right now.
Heavenly Father, forgive us when we become prideful and forget that without humility, we take control of our lives away from you. In Jesus' name.
Read Matthew 5:3
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (NIV)
"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (KJV)

Amen. Without humility, pride will draw us away from the Lord. God's blessings. Lloyd
