Matthew 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who are humble in spirit, those who recognize what a wretched spiritual state that they are in, surviving by begging God to meet their spiritual needs, those who know that they are in great need of God. The poor in spirit realize the dire state that they are in, that without outside help they have no hope. They are fully dependent on God and in this dependence are given the promise of the kingdom of heaven.
Application- I pray that God will show me how desperate my need for him really is, and remind me each day of the blessing promised to those humble in spirit.
