Title: Blessed are the Humble!

-
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their's is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.5.3.KJV
Devotion: The amplified Bible classic edition interpretes this verse fully to bring out the meaning: "Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous–with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!" 
  These are the words of Jesus Christ in sermon on the mountain in which he taught the Apostles before sending them out into the world. The teaching, (Matt chapters 5 to 7) serves as foundation of the ministry of Christ. Many of us followers of Christ will have to learn these words of Christ so that our foundation can be very solid and unshakeable. When we do that we'll not easily fall into the trap of sin, therefore we have to study the bible daily.
 The lesson from the verse is that we must not be proud even as children of the most high God but be joyful because we know our place is Secured in the kingdom of God. We must not condemn sinners but bring them to the knowledge of Christ. 
 Dearly beloved, rejoice because the kingdom of God is yours but bring in more people by teaching them the words of Christ Jesus. Hallelujah.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
