Poor in Spirit – What Does It Mean?
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom
of heaven.” Matthew 5:3
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
What does it mean to be “poor in spirit”? Jesus is talking
about being a beggar. He is saying, “Blessed are the beggars.” He’s not talking
about finances here. He’s talking about a person being poor spiritually.
Before a person can enter into the kingdom of heaven, he
must first admit that no matter how much he may have in the material realm or
psychological realm, he is absolutely and totally spiritually bankrupt and a
beggar before God. If he doesn’t see
that, he will never, ever get into the kingdom of heaven.
ACTION POINT:
I’ve often said that I am just one beggar showing another
beggar where to find food. Do you see yourself as a beggar in need of the Bread
of Heaven?
