Sitting on a hill and speaking to anyone curious enough to listen. Little by little, sentence by sentence, step by step He paints a clear pattern and picture for us today.
"Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth."
for they will inherit the earth."
Matthew 5:5 niv
Isn't this just like Jesus, to teach us to do the opposite of how every inclination of our heart would lead us?
People normally take power by force. But here is Jesus telling us to do the opposite.
I believe it is because He isn't looking for us to take over the world by power. Power comes and goes and the Kingdom God that God is looking for can not be sustained by human will and exertion.
We will inherit the world because of our love first and foremost for Him, then next by loving those around us.
That is the plan, the agenda, the supposed MO of all who see God as their Father in Heaven.
Remember we are called to Salt and Light and to influence the world by being who we are created to be in Christ.
Not taking force in human terms. But by being ambassadors for Christ and living it our in a supernatural fashion.
I believe God wants you to influence the world around by serving and loving those in the world all the while loving God with everything you have.
This goes along for me with the example all throughout the history of Gods people, by simply following His way, trusting in Him alone...having victory over this world.
Something to think about...
