1 Kings 17:1-6, Ps. 121, Matthew 5:1-12

Attitude formation

The Beatitudes speak of a life which for the sake of establishing God’s kingdom on earth suffers, but is never-the-less happy and blessed. Do I sometimes forget that my behaviour reflects my attitude to God? Right attitudes to God will bring mercy, poverty of spirit, spiritual hunger etc. into my life. We may not know which particular beatitude or beatitudes will be worked in us by God but today I can examine my attitude to God.
