Luke 11:27–28 (ESV)
True Blessedness
27 As he said these things,
a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” 28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
Another day to worship the Lord. I’m looking forward to today’s worship service, to praise and give thanks to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The reading today is short, but the woman in the reading raised
her voice and said to Jesus “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” She is give praise and thanks to Jesus mother Mary, who brought the Savior into the world. Jesus responded back “Blessed
rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Jesus is telling us that we are the ones who are blessed!” That is... “those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Unfortunately, those who hear
the word of God and don’t keep it are not blessed.
I pray: “O Lord, I have heard your Word and I try to keep it, help me to share that same Word with people who have not heard... so they
too may believe and be blessed. Help us all to keep your Word. Amen.
