Joel 4:12-21; Psalm 97; Luke 11:27-28

Blessedness

Jesus deepens our understanding of blessedness. The mother of Jesus calls each of us to blessedness by both hearing the word of God, pondering this word in our hearts and then living this word with all that we are. Blessedness isn’t inherited but personally lived out amidst our everyday chores. We can’t bestow blessedness as an inheritance. No, it's personal and to do with our individual response. Take time today to allow yourself to be still and listen to the word of God.
