Day 3: Redefining Blessing
Reading: Matthew 5:1-12
Devotional: Jesus challenges our understanding of what it means to be blessed. While the world might equate blessing with success, wealth, or recognition, Jesus presents a radically different view in the Beatitudes. As you read, consider how Jesus' definition of blessing differs from societal norms. Reflect on times when you've felt truly blessed - were they aligned more with worldly standards or God's? Today, seek to embrace Jesus' teaching that true blessing comes from hearing and obeying God's word. How might this shift in perspective change your priorities and actions?
