What hinders his blessing?

Jesus told the crowd listening to his Sermon on the Mount how to live a life God would be able to bless. He then taught the crowd the impact a blessed life could have on the world. Jesus told the disciples that he had not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill the Law and the Prophets. Jesus uses the next portion of his sermon to correct some misunderstandings that had developed concerning obedience to the Law. Jesus wanted his followers to understand God’s intentions in giving the Law. The purpose of the Law was to inform God’s people about righteousness and the godly attitudes and actions that enabled his blessing.

Think about the various activities that consume your life. Which activities produce God’s blessing and which tend to remove it? Jesus preached his Sermon on the Mount to help us edit our choices to include an activity or the choices we make while involved in that activity. Prayerfully apply his teaching to your life, calendar, and character.
