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.

TEXTO SALMOS 89:1-4 Las misericordias de Jehová cantaré perpetuamente; De generación en generación haré notoria tu fidelidad con mi boca. Porque dije: Para siempre será edificada misericordia; En los cielos mismos afirmarás tu verdad. Hice pacto con mi escogido; Juré a David mi siervo, diciendo: Para siempre confirmaré tu descendencia, Y edificaré tu trono por todas las generaciones. Selah SALMOS 89:20-28 Hallé a David mi siervo; Lo ungí con mi santa unción. Mi mano estará siempre con él, Mi brazo también lo fortalecerá. No lo sorprenderá el enemigo, Ni hijo de iniquidad lo quebrantará; Sino que quebrantaré delante de él a sus enemigos, Y heriré a los que le aborrecen. Mi verdad y mi misericordia estarán con él, Y en mi nombre será exaltado su poder. Asimismo pondré su mano sobre el mar, Y sobre los ríos su diestra. Él me clamará: Mi padre eres tú, Mi Dios, y la roca de mi salvación. Yo tam...
