For the last three
months this world
has experience a lot
of unhappiness.
COVID-19. Things as
usual were changed
by COVID-19. You
could not attend
church, you could
not go to the bars,
night clubs,
restaurants,
beaches, movies,
malls, vacations,
ball games; no
sports at all and
many other
activities. In other
words, this world
has experienced
major unhappiness,
if your happiness
was wrapped up in
those things, and
it’s nothing wrong
at all with those,
but; there is
something that can
help you better
enjoy those.
The Word of God
says, “Blessed are
the poor in spirit:
for theirs is the
Kingdom of Heaven.”
(Matthew 5:3) When
Jesus spoke these
words, He was not
saying that wealth
was wrong because
poverty can drive a
person to
dishonesty. Being
poor does not mean
that you are
spiritually
superior. Jesus was
saying that you need
to know yourself;
you need to know
your spiritual
condition. When
COVID-19 hit, many
individuals did not
know their spiritual
condition. Their
success and
prosperity caused
them to be
self-satisfied and
proud. It’s bad not
to know your
spiritual condition.
Poverty in spirit is
the beginning of
happiness. If you
want to experience
happiness, know your
spiritual needs.
Samson did not know
his spiritual
condition. When he
was standing in the
valley of Zorek, he
did not know the
Lord was not with
him. When COVID-19
struck, many did not
have the Lord with
them. So many are
confused,
frustrated, lonely,
and bent out of
shape because they
had to stay home in
order to be safe.
Many were not poor
in spirit. Many have
not practiced
humility. If you
want happiness try
Jesus. It takes more
than self -ambition
to be happy. The
indwelling of the
Holy Spirit is the
key. As children
depend upon their
parents to take care
of them, people need
to rely upon the
Holy Spirit to take
care of them. The
Bible says, Cast
your cares upon Him,
for He cares for
you.
When life falls
apart and pandemic
strikes, the
unexpected shows up,
you want to fall
apart. O praise His
Holy Name! COVID-19
is not over yet. It
might get worse
before it gets
better. So humble
yourself and come to
Jesus while you have
time. The door is
open. He is the way,
the truth and the
light.
(John 14:6;
John 8:12)
You can’t get to the
Father unless you
come by Jesus. Come
to Him today.
