Blessed #2: poor in spirit (Dawn Fuglestad, 1/17/10)
messageaudio:
I don't know about you, but I like formulas. I like the ability to control and predict things, especially when it comes to my life and my future! I love the question 'Why?' because that's the road to understanding, which is the road to control. I also like the two words 'if' and 'then', especially when strategically placed together. If I do 'this', then 'that' will be the result. I like to work hard, live right, knowing this will lead to a positive result, maybe even a blessing. Bottom line: I really wish Jesus would have said, 'Blessed are the perfectionists and control freaks for they shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.' But he didn't. He said 'Blessed are the poor in spirit'... which is apparently good news. Come on Sunday and help me get a grip and then maybe even cut these words loose!
