To be blessed

Genesis 9:18-11:9
The idea of building a tower at Babel was so that the people could make a name for themselves, they wanted to be the greatest most important thing. This is still what we end up doing, we are always trying to be greater than God.

Matthew 4:23-5:20
What Jesus did was; teach in synagogue, preach good news, healing people from sickness and disease.
It is a blessing to be poor in spirit, mourning, meek, hunger  nd thirst for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers and persecuted. It really desn't feel like that!
Life as a Christian may be hard at times but, rejoice and be glad because our reward is in heaven. I don't know what the reward will be, but I know that it will be worth it.

Psalm 4:1-8
It is easy to sin when we are angry, we loose sight of what we should do and just lash out. God wants us to not sin, even when we are angry.
The light of God's face to shine upon us so we can show others God's love.
God's joy is greater than getting drunk!
