January Beatitude Review

In January the first 3 "Blessed are" were shared. In February the next 3 "Blessed are" will be shared in detail.

Know that GOD Loves you and you will surely be blessed by Him as one of His children when you accept Jesus Christ as you penalty for sin and your Savior and King of Creation!

The Meekness of Animals

The meek doesn't just include those of mankind that have salvation through being saved by grace.

Salvation is for man (because he is made in the image of GOD, Genesis 1) and does not apply to the animals. HOWEVER,  Romans 8:21-22 tells of GOD's whole creation being delivered, "Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of GOD!"

If you do not have Christ's salvation, today is the day to accept your salvation and know the wonders of His Creation being in eternity with us all forevermore! This is being Meek! 

In The Palm Of His Hand

What Christ did for mankind will last for eternity. Have you accepted His salvation for you or have you accepted His damnation by rejecting so great a salvation?

Daily Bread, 01/27/15, "GOD bears the world's weight on His shoulder, yet holds His children in the palm of His hand."

NASA's "Hand of GOD."

What An Inheritance!

The New Earth is going to be so beyond our comprehension, that John could only describe it's building materials being that of what man on this fallen earth cheats, steals, and kills for!

Revelation 21:11, "having the glory of GOD, Her (New Jerusalem)  brilliance was like a very costly stone, as a stone of crystal-clear jasper.

Revelation 21:14, 19, "The City had 12 foundation stones.  (19) The 1st foundation stone, jasper, 2nd sapphire, 3rd chalcedony, 4th emerald, 5th sardonyx, 6th sardius, 7th chrysolite, 8th beryl, 9th topaz, 10th chrysoprase, 11th jacinth, 12th amethyst.

Revelation 21:21, "The 12 gates each a single pearl, and the street was pure gold!"

Yes, the Meek have very much to look forward to and even more than our now finite minds cannot comprehend!

  

Meekness Is Not Weakness

Revelation 21:1, "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away."

The meek of today are trampled over by the wicked of this world. One Day there will be no more wicked for GOD will have passed His judgment upon them and they will be forever banished to the Lake of Fire. Those Christians who belong to Him will inherit His New Earth and never again experience evil, for: 

Revelation 21:27, "Nothing impure (or evil) will enter, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life."

GOD Gives Peace During Mourning

Nothing on earth can be so bad that can compare to the greatness of Heaven.

Acts 7:55, the stoning to death of Stephen for his testimony for Christ, "Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up and saw the glory of GOD, and Jesus standing at the right hand of GOD."

My father had a same experience when he was on his deathbed. He no longer could see us, but heaven definitely opened to him! Angels were descending so quickly his head would sway from side to side as he counted, "Look out, here they come! One, two, three, look out!" When the glory of GOD appeared, his eyes (in the dim light of the room) sparkled the reflection of the glory he saw! He let out a joyful squeal and closed his eyes never to open them again! Though we were in mourning at my father's passing, the LORD surely blessed us with the assurance of my dad's home going to the LORD forever!

Blessed Means More Than Happiness

The Application Bible Commentary shares about the Beatitudes, The Beatitudes "tells how to be blessed. 'Blessed' means more than happiness. It implies the fortunate or enviable state of those who are in GOD's Kingdom. The Beatitudes don't promise a temporal laughter, pleasure, or earthly prosperity. To Jesus, blessed means the experience of hope and joy, independent of outward circumstances. Follow Jesus no matter what the cost."

I Corinthians 13:7, "Love bears up under anything and everything that comes..."

Romans 5:3-4, "We also glory in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance produces character and character produces hope" in Jesus Christ.

GOD Moments page 81, "Struggles are part of the process to grow stronger in faith." For faith brings us to trust in our Almighty Savior GOD!
