Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves. – Romans 14:22
Throughout the Scriptures we see many “blessed” statements given, here are some of them, Blessed are: One who trusts in the Lord (Jeremiah 17:7). The poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, those who are persecuted because of righteousness, falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me (Matthew 5:11). Is anyone who does not stumble on account of me (Matthew 11:6). Those whose transgressions are forgiven (Romans 4:7). Those who persevere under trial (James 1:12). Those who suffer for what is right (1 Peter 3:14). Insulted because of the name of Christ (1 Peter 4:14) Is the one who stays awake spiritual in the end times (Revelation 16:15) Jesus called his disciples blessed because they saw and heard the truths of the kingdom of God (Matthew 13:16) Jesus called Simon blessed for being revealed truth by the Heavenly Father (Matthew 16:7). Jesus those who give are blessed (Acts 20:35). If we were to just consider and meditate on all these blessings that we are partakers of by God’s grace it should humble and give us the desire to seek the Lord.
