Good morning, Lord

Matthew 5:3-12

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

 Blessed are those who mourn,

for they will be comforted.

 Blessed are the meek,

for they will inherit the earth.

 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

for they will be filled.

 Blessed are the merciful,

for they will be shown mercy.

 Blessed are the pure in heart,

for they will see God.

 Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they will be called sons of God.

 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

3107 makários (from mak-, "become long, large") – properly, when God extends His benefits (the advantages He confers); blessed.

3107 /makários ("blessed") describes a believer in enviable ("fortunate") position from receiving God's provisions (favor) – which (literally) extend ("make long, large") His grace (benefits). This happens with receiving (obeying) the Lord's inbirthings of faith. Hence, faith (4102 /pístis) and 3107(makários) are closely associated (Ro 4:5-7,14:22,23; Rev 14:12,13).

Good morning, Lord, thank You for all the richness of Your word, especially the Sermon on the Mount and these Beatitiudes. Thank You, we truly are blessed, in so many ways, many more than we can even perceive. We realize we are blessed for good reasons, we are Your workmanship, created to do the works You have prepared for each of us (Ephesians 2:10). Help us choose wisely this day, how we choose to act and react towards others, help us be a blessing in their lives, we pray in Jesus' name, amen.
