Mattaay 5:11-12

I would like to share a thought with you that is fundamental to our lives. It’s from Psalm 1: “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.” This verse teaches us about the Christian life, about what it shouldn’t be. But what should it be?

Something’s wrong. When should you speak up? When should you hold your tongue? These biblical reflections help you decide whether it’s the right time to use your voice at work.

"Blessed are those who mourn..." (Matthew 5:4, NIV) How is that supposed to work? Throughout Scripture, we are encouraged to have joy in all circumstances. Could there be a link between joy and mourning?

God’s Word has a crazy way of flipping our thinking upside-down! Whether it is Jesus declaring that the meek will inherit the world or being commanded to forgive our enemies, God’s way of living is drastically different than the world’s! But, when we obediently follow God, He promises us something this world never can: a blessed life.
