My Recent Note on the Be-Attitudes

I have been studying the Beatitudes in Matthew's gospel. It always amazes
me all the Lord condenses in that passage of scriptural readings. So concise
and so powerful. Giving us principles to live by in His Kingdom.

One of my favorite passages in the sermon is, " Ask, and it shall be given you; seek,
and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that
asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall
be opened " ( Matthew 7:7,8 )

Its amazing to me to see the desire of our Lord to give us answers to life's
questions, and to meet our needs as we show our heart's desire
to seek or to access His Presence. For He says, " it shall ", " shall find ",
" shall be ", " every one that ", " seeketh findeth ", " shall be ". All of these
phrases denote a positive response in return to someone's pursuit for the
Grace of God. Its just so in tune with the Father's will to give us the Kingdom
and provide all that is necessary for godliness and success in this life. Amen.
