Quiet Time Notes

Notes from my daily Quiet Times with God

First the Kingdom - Key to everything else

The first beatitude is the key to whole sermon on the mount

By ourselves we can not live out the sermon - we need help from God

• We can not be convicted enough
• Can not be committed enough
• Can not be determined enough

Lessons always lead back to this beatitude again and again

• You will fail to have a pure heart and not forgive
  
• Struggle to love your enemy
• You will lash back because you can not turn the other cheek
• You will be self-righteous and judge others
• You will get anxious

God does nothing less but give the entire kingdom to a bunch of beggars - just have to admit you are one

Does this describe you?
Would God describe you this way?
