We Are Either Blessed or Cursed...
Daily we are blessed or cursedby what/who we most dearly love/serveđđWhat/who on life's highway will claim our passion today?!!đ
SO many choices but only two masters!And we all, by the voice of choice, serve only oneMatt.6:24âNo one can serve two masters.Either you will hate the one and love the other,or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.You cannot serve both God and money.Jesus~
***
We are either blessed or cursed by what keens hunger and thirstBy the guests Thought entertains, by the quests desire unchainsBy the reasons we confess in our search for happinessBy the voice that choice augments in courses of consequence
We are either cursed or blessed by replies by love professedBy the merits we applaud pertaining to self or GodBy the setting of the goal, either for flesh or the soulBy what purpose primes pursuit that in time, turns into fruit
By what pleasure we employ by how we measure true joyBut what character we mold by what principles we holdBy how we view circumstance whether by design or chanceBy the armor that we wear wrought by human hands or prayer
By what fuels hope or dread by who rules in heart and headBy what matter cheers or grieves by what faith or sight believesBy what edicts we endear, by what Author we revereBy what promotes worst or best we are either cursed or blessedBy what keens hunger and thirst we are either blessed or cursed

:28-29Then Agrippa said to Paul, âYou almost persuade me to become a Christian.âAnd Paul said, âI would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these chains.â
Matt.5:1-12And seeing the multitudes, He (Jesus) went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. 2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:
3 âBlessed are the poor in spirit,For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.4 Blessed are those who mourn,For they shall be comforted.5 Blessed are the meek,For they shall inherit the []earth.6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,For they shall be filled.7 Blessed are the merciful,For they shall obtain mercy.8 Blessed are the pure in heart,For they shall see God.9 Blessed are the peacemakers,For they shall be called sons of God.10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousnessâ sake,For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Today's prayer: Lord, grant us wisdom, from your Wordthrough Your Spiritso we may treasure Sover material blessings.Amen
