Luke 6:21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
I love everything in the Bible -from Genesis to Revelation, and in each book, I find joy, and love in all that which is recorded. Why? Because the LORD is amazingly compassionate and brilliant beyond measure, and although some things in the Bible are “bloody” and extremely “tough” to imagine or digest-we must realize that circumstances happened for reasons that helped shape who we are today and lends credence to the blueprints of our lives as we know it this very day!
Luke 6:21 – expressly reminds us that no matter what kind of issues we’re experiencing in our life, that His light will always outshine the gloominess, and the darkness. The LORD has a plan for those who follow Him, and you can be certain, that it’s a plan according to our needs, and desires. And it’s a plan we can all rejoice in as we go forward in life.
Although all of us at one point in our lives will grieve–we can rest assured that we will get through it by His strength, His love, and our unwavering faith in Him. Laughter will return again after copious tears have been shed and have dried. Your heart will smile again. And you will go on.
Luke 6:21 (a) Blessed are ye that hunger now…
This means, not only suffer hunger and thirst in the literal sense, in our current life, but hunger and thirst in our spiritual sense, hungering after the righteousness and eternal life-(Matthew 5:6) where it’s said, “ye shall be filled.”
Luke 6:21 (b) …Blessed are ye that weep now.
This pertains to our afflictions, personal hardships, and pressures of life. We mourn for loss, we mourn for sin, but one day-we will laugh yet again-we will be filled with spiritual joy, and pleasure, and be comforted with the consolations of the Spirit.
Our Father guides us as we inherently adhere to His ways and His will for our life. As we grow in Spirit, and become closer to the LORD, we are securing our inheritance in His Kingdom for Eternity. And we aspire to become holier as He commands us to be holy.
1 Peter 1:16– Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
- And being holy is circumspect upon our thoughts, hearts and souls.
- So, follow Him.
- Love Him.
- And trust Him.
And finally, never say “Never” — Because God has plans for us —even when we say things like, “Never again”- God will say something like – “Oh Yeah! That’s what you think my child!” And, just like that -you must answer the call.
I recently said, “Never again.” I was devastated by a significant and deeply powerful loss and said, “Never again” And wham! Eight months after professing adamantly, with strong conviction, “Never again” God said, “here you go my beloved child yes you will.” And I did!
Of course. I can now see that it is according to His plan, according to His will.
So, thank you LORD!
1 Thessalonians 5:18 Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God‘s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 13:20-21 Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
“Dear Father, Lord God, I promise to truly try my hardest to always obey, follow, and adhere to Your will, as it is always in perfect accordance in what I need, and what is required to fulfill my life here on earth, while staying steadfast in seeking You in all that I do, and keeping my eye on Your Kingdom, where one day I will be with You for eternity, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Well done! Very powerful message. We learn from experience and the reading of God’s Word these truths you pointed out. A very loving prayer you also included that should be the desire of us all that are in Christ
