Blessed are the Persecuted
DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD
THURSDAY 6TH AUGUST 2O2O
TEXT: MATTHEW 5:10
TOPIC: BLESSED ARE THE PERSECUTED
This is the greatest of all the paradoxical statements of the beatitude. How can you be suffering and still be happy? Jesus said it is possible to be persecuted and still be happy, contented and satisfied if we abide in his righteousness
The Persecuted are called names for the sake of righteousness, they are ridiculed, they are looked down upon, they are hated, they are attacked but they endured it all with a forgiving heart. Knowing fully well that whatever evil they do against them in the course of advancing the kingdom is done to Christ and Christ will reward them and comfort them roundabout. If we endure the persecution for the sake of Christ, we shall be happy, satisfied, joyful and above all the kingdom of God shall be ours.
Prayer: Father help me to endure persecution and do not allow me to miss my heavenly reward in Jesus name.
