VERSE OF THE DAY: MATTHEW 5:10 God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

BLESSED ARE THE PERSECUTED It’s not always easy to stand for what’s right—especially when someone makes fun of you, gossips about you, lies about you, or even abuses you because of your decision. But when sharing the eighth of the beatitudes—a series of promises Jesus made about God’s Kingdom—Jesus offered some hope: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:10 NIV Leading up to this verse, Jesus had spoken unexpected blessings over an unlikely group: the poor in spirit, those who were mourning, the meek, those craving righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart, and the peacemakers. Finally, He offered a blessing to the persecuted. Jesus elaborated: “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Now, we won’t be blessed for facing the consequences of our own terrible decisions. But Jesus is saying that you will be rewarded when you are shamed, canceled, or even physically persecuted because of Him. Jesus knows what it’s like to suffer for the sake of righteousness. You will be blessed for standing up for what is right, for trusting in God’s Word, and for defending those who cannot defend themselves. And when it gets hard, remember: you’re not alone. The prophets before us were mocked, beaten, and even killed. Jesus’ disciples—the ones hearing these words—would also suffer and die because of their beliefs. They were persecuted for doing things differently: for loving their neighbors, following God's laws, and for declaring Jesus as Lord. So no matter what it costs you, you will be blessed for standing up for what is right. Jesus says that yours is the kingdom of heaven.

SHARE YOUR FAITH God's people are sometimes mocked or even persecuted for living out and sharing their faith. But don't let that stop you. God has prepared a great reward in heaven for those who persevere-in a forever kingdom that will never be destroyed.

God, when I feel weak, remind me that You are strong. And when I feel like giving up, give me the strength to persevere. Show me what it means to pursue righteousness- no matter the cost. I want every aspect of my life to glorify You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

God, nothing compares to You! You alone are good. You alone are majestic. You alone are praiseworthy! Thank You for creating me, calling me by name, and giving me a purpose. Thank You for allowing Yourself to be known by humanity. I am in awe of Your humility, kindness, and grace. All glory, honor, and power belong to You! Hallelujah, in Jesus' name, Amen.

LUKE 12:7 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.

God sees every detail of what you are facing today. Re-red today's verse and let that truth sink in. When you're ready talk to God about whatever's on your mind right now.

ROMANS 15:13 I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

What do you need to trust God with today? Bring all your concerns to the One who brings hope, joy and peace.
