Blessed Are They That Mourn (Part 2)

Matthew 5:4 reads, "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." Mourn? The reference is to mourning over one's sins. The reference can also be mourning over the sins of one's nation.

"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people." (Proverbs 14:34)

Believers should mourn over the sinfulness of our nation. We should seek to live holy lives so as to be "salt and light" to our nation.

Prayer: "Lord, send a revival and spiritual awakening across our country! In Jesus' Name, Amen."

Blessings!
