Summary
Today we’ll finish up our week on living poor in spirit by exploring how spiritual freedom is tied to spiritual poverty. May you be stirred up today to live free as you hold tightly to the truths of God’s kingdom. Abundant life is available to us now as we seek to live low and abide in Jesus.
