“God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.”Matthew 5:5 NLT
The message Bible puts this verse as:
““You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.”Matthew 5:5 MSG
The Jewish Bible states:
“Ashrey are the ANAVIM (humble), for YIRESHU ARETZ (they will inherit the land).”
Mattityahu 5:5 TOJB2011
What do I inherit as I humble myself? Something that would otherwise be blocked to me. The Lord has treasures untold but many people do not experience because of their proud hearts. Pride and humility do not co-exist. Most of these treasures are found in Him. He holds all things together.
My goal then should be to humble myself in His sight and at the right time He will exalt me. Amen!
