It is not enough to reach a bland behavioral point when we no longer take pleasure in sin; we must hunger and thirst for righteousness.

Blessedness is defined as being higher than happiness. “Happiness comes from without and is dependent on circumstances; blessedness is an inward fountain of joy in the soul itself, which no outward circumstances can seriously affect.”

Unless we are poor in spirit (humble), we feel like we have to defend ourselves. People only attack another person if they feel threatened. God’s law is an inward thing. It deals with the part of us that wants to attack.

'To be poor in spirit is to feel yourselves as the spiritually needy, even dependent upon the Lord for your clothes, your food, the air you breathe, your health, your life; realizing that no day should pass without fervent prayer of thanksgiving, for guidance and forgiveness and strength sufficient for each day’s need. ... To the worldly rich it is that “he must possess his wealth as if he possessed it not”

The ancient Spartans left us a vision that is a more precise analogy than Massada. Outnumbered by the Persians, according to legend, the Spartans had to hold the pass at Thermopylae. After failing to take the pass, the Persians sent an emissary to the Spartans, who asked them to surrender and threatened them by saying that the Persians had so many archers they could “darken the sky with their arrows.” The Spartans replied: “So much the better, we shall fight in the shade.” We, too, may need to hold the pass in the shade of vexing circumstances; and we, too, need to be undaunted, but that is easier to do, if we carefully cultivate a realistic sense of destiny.

One of the ironies which is fostered, at times innocently, in the Church, is the feeling we have that the spirit of the law is superior to the letter of the law because for some reason it seems more permissive or less apt to offend others. The reverse is true. The spirit of the law is superior because it demands more of us that the letter of the law. The spirit of the law insists that we do more than merely comply superficially. It means, too, that we must give attention to the things that matter most and still not leave the others undone.

When we have congruency with Christ, it means we have to shed everything about us that is inconsistent with the pattern he has set for us. Once we have congruency with Christ, to comply with the standards of the Church is easy, in the sense that it is what we want to do, not what we must do; duty becomes a delight.

So often we feel, implicitly, that we are doing God a favor if we do his work, that we are helping him along when, in fact, our performance properly undertaken is for the welfare of our soul, not his! It is our happiness and our growth he seeks! How wonderful it could be to pray that what we do would be mindstretching and soul-expanding. Such genuine, prayerful forethought could also reduce the less-than-necessary tasks we do that are trivial and could lessen the number of right things we do for the wrong reasons.

Living by faith, then, is not simply a test, but a necessity until we are ready to receive more divine data. Meanwhile, we often go on asking God, as C. S. Lewis observed, questions even He cannot answer because they are the equivalent of: “How big is Yellow?” When we often can’t frame the right question, and could not contain the answer if it were given, silence must be God’s only response at times.

The aloneness of the atonement in its final hours symbolized how we must, at times, do what needs to be done, even if no mortal understands or appreciates what is being done. In fact, the atonement with its awful arithmetic (the billions who would benefit from the exquisite agony of Christ as he somehow bore thousands of sins for each of us) was the last appreciated but most beneficial act in human history!

How wet some people must have been before Noah’s ark suddenly seemed the only sane act in an insane, bewildering situation!
