Matchless value? Most things have value, but not all things have monetary value. What was Jesus saying when he preached, “Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5). Was he speaking about the world and those material things in it that you and I find so valuable?
Think about it. Jesus was talking about a different kind of inheritance, a different kind of value. He was not speaking of worldly things that can be bought or sold.
God’s Word tells us: “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5).
Obey God’s Word and you will receive an inheritance of very dear value, the earth itself. When we pursue a life of Christian integrity, God chooses to share the intrinsic value of His creation, the earth, with us. It’s His personal possession. Although He made it devoid of things of worldly value, it’s full of intrinsic, divine value–His love. Matchless value!
“Heavenly Father, help us to show meekness in all that we think, say, and do. May we like Christ challenge injustice while showing kindness, empathy, and gentleness. Help us to welcome the friend, the stranger, and the enemy that we may proclaim Your love to all. In Jesus name. Amen!”
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34) www.thispassingday.com
