Matthew 5:3-“Blessed are the poor in spirit.”
Please remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today
When I come to the end of myself, my life finds strength in Him.
When I come to poverty’s door, selfishness suddenly grows dim.
When I come to the end of myself releasing all obstacles by choice
The Father has a place to begin creating a vessel for Him to rejoice.
When I come to the end of myself my ambitions and claims are not there.
When I come to the end of myself, His teaching relieves all despair.
When I come to the end of myself, there’s a table spread for a feast.
Poverty has taught me somehow that God will His Anointing release.

Points to Ponder-Poverty of spirit gives space for holiness to enter. List the blessings of relaxing and releasing the cares of life to Jesus. Note the place of surrender and obedience in the equation. Observe a veteran Christian. What part has “poverty of spirit” enriched their lives? Learn to lean on Jesus more today than ever. Praise Him.
Dear Lord, Thank you that you meet us at our point of surrender and obedience. Keep us aware of the importance of “Poverty of Spirit” In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
