For The MIGHTY ONE did for me great things and HOLY is HIS Name.
Luke 1:49 ( literal Gk)| And she... brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped HIM+ in swaddling clothes and laid HIM+ in a manger...  |
| and when HIS+ hour had come... the whole band of soldiers... stripped HIM+ and put on HIM+ a scarlet robe... |
For The MIGHTY ONE did for me great things and HOLY is HIS Name.
Blessed are the poor in spirit;
for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
Are we seeking first the kingdom of Self... or of GOD ? Do we clamor and fight for "our rights" when we are stepped upon... or do we yield, yield, yield at every opportunity... in order to bring about GOD'S Kingdom ?
[ No, we do NOT yield our members unto sin, and if forced to participate in actual sin, we YIELD NOT and prepare to take the hate, rejection and opposition.]
[ No, we do NOT yield our members unto sin, and if forced to participate in actual sin, we YIELD NOT and prepare to take the hate, rejection and opposition.]
Are we SO poor in spirit, so lacking in Self-seeking, that GOD can do great things for us , to us, and with us ?
If not, then we are not low enough to be used by GOD.
We will never be able to echo The Hebrew virgin Mariam's song:
For HE that is MIGHTY hath done great things for me and HOLY is HIS Name.
MEDITATION
O Gracious LORD of the Poor in Spirit, I praise THEE+ for being poor in spirit but rich in Grace when THOU+ walked the earth as a man. Help me to go and do likewise. Amen.
