Jesus chose a mountainside to teach His followers about the characteristics of a life yielded to God. There He taught them that attitude, not altitude, was the key to having a clear view of the Father. |

Read: Matthew 5:1-12 |
Although I know He has furnished countless good things for me, when the car blows a gasket, when the flu infects my family, and when relationships threaten to unravel, dissatisfaction threatens my view of God’s blessings—they seem more like infrequent drips from a faucet rather than a flood of water from a hydrant! Tucked
into the passage known as the Beatitudes, Jesus said:“Blessed are the
pure in heart, for they shall see God”
(Matt. 5:8). This is not just for the few who try
to achieve it, but for all who will humbly receive it. To have a heart that is clean in God’s eyes, we need to accept the Father’s pardon through Christ His Son. “If we confess our
sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse
[purify] us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). (Matthew
5 -Audio-)

Your blest Word is rich and new; Men with eyes by sin distorted Cannot all its treasures view. —Bosch To
get a clear view of God, focus on Jesus Christ.
