Morning Bliss: How To Esteem Others More Than Self _

Focal Scripture : Matthew 25:40 'And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.'
                   
                 Read: Matthew 25:32-46


When a kind act was done to someone in need, Jesus said it was done unto Him. The Lord deeply feels our hurts.

 When someone is neglected, Jesus says He is also being neglected. 

We have a high priest who is touched by the feelings of our infirmities (Heb. 4:15). When we hurt, He hurts. When we are blessed, He is blessed. 

The God of the universe is intricately involved with every detail of our lives.

How can we esteem others better than ourselves when really we think we are better than others? Some people are better athletes than others. 

Some are better businessmen than others. Some are better speakers than others, and so forth.

First, we need to recognize that our accomplishments don't make us better than others. 

There is a difference between what we do and who we are. Better performance does not make a better person.

 A person's character can be severely wanting even though his performance is good.

Secondly, to esteem someone better than ourselves simply means to value them more than we value ourselves.

 To some that may seem impossible, but it isn't.

That is exactly what Jesus did. If Jesus, who was God in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16), could humble Himself and value our good above His own welfare, then we should certainly be able to do the same. 

It can happen when we die to self and live to God.

If we think only about ourselves, we will be selfish. 

If we get out of self and think more about the benefit of others than the benefit of self, then we will be selfless. It's a matter of focus.

Morning Bliss: Give Cheerfully, Not Out Of Fear _ Focal Scripture : Matthew 23:23 'Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.'                                      Read: Matthew 23:23 Some have taught that Jesus did away with the tithe since it is not a specific part of the New Testament teaching.  But in this instance, Jesus made reference to the scribes and Pharisees tithing and implied that they were right in doing so.  The New Covenant did not do away with the tithe but it clarified what the motives for tithing should be. Abram tithed over 430 years before the law was given. Jacob also tithed approximately 300 years before the time of the law.  Therefore, tithing was a B...

Morning Bliss: Discipline Brings Life_ Focal Scripture : Matthew 18:18-19 'Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.'                                      Read: Matthew 18:15-19 Verses 18 and 19 have many applications, but taken in context, they are specifically referring to church discipline.  Some might think that church discipline is only symbolic and carries no real weight; however, Jesus is making it clear that in the spiritual realm, discipline that is directed by the Holy Spirit has much power. The scriptural commands concerning church discipline are designed to help restore the brother or sister who is...

Morning Bliss: Build Faith, Destroy Doubt_ Focal Scripture :  Matthew 17:20 'And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.'                                      Read:  Matthew 17:9-20; Mark 9:9-27; Luke 9:37-42 The disciples' unbelief in this instance was not a disbelief in God's power to produce deliverance, but rather a 'natural' kind of unbelief that came from a hardened heart that was more sensitive to what it saw than to what it believed. Jesus said that a very small amount of faith (a 'mustard seed') is sufficient to remove a mountain, if no unbelief is present to hinder it. Jesus was disappointed that His disciples had ...
