Poor in Spirit vs. Blessed are those who are poor.

Holy Spirit teach us what it means to be poor in spirit.

I came across this prayer on twitter tonight and it got my spirit churning in a thousand ways. The desire and thirst for Him is so deep in me. He is drilling a well deep down in my heart. All I want is more. Increasing the depths of Him is the ONLY thing I want on this earth. Because He is Holy, Good, nothing can compare to Him, this is my desire.

But in this fast driven world, there are so many distractions keeping us away from God, so this simple yet loaded prayer is so vital because it helps me understand the desperation for Christ. The desperation to KNOW him on an intimate level, to hear Him, to feel His goodness. AH~ my heart. My life.

When I was in Honduras for a mission trip, I read in Matthew 5:3 where it says "Blessed are those who are poor", I understand that these people have nothing, they are the definition of poverty yet they are blessed because they KNOW God. They depend on Him because that's all they have.

Let this resonate with you tonight.

May you realize how poor we are and may your spirit thirst for more of HIM.

Press into Him tonight as you close your eyes and tastes His glory.
