Meek and Hungry
Sunday, October 2: “Meek and Hungry” We continue in our Beatitudes series
╬ “Only the Meek and Hungry Need Apply.” Employers today are looking for the accomplished and successful. Only the best and brightest people with a proven track record need apply. Yet the One who calls us to action, in actualizing the Kingdom of Heaven – the rule and reign of God in the world – is looking for a different skill set, a different attitude toward life and the world. God is calling forth the conviction that righteousness – right relationship between God and people and creation – as the central priority in life. We rarely hear “meekness” lifted up as a positive qualification or attribute … until we understand it as the ability to be led and guided in the will and ways of God. We open ourselves to true blessing when we begin to understand and embrace this way of being, God’s way of being. The Beatitudes.
