Trials: the means for spiritual maturity
Everyone experiences times of suffering in their lives. However, how we handle these sufferings and trials in our life will indicate our spiritual maturity. As Christians, we must realize that God intentionally ordains trials (testing) in our lives so that we might ultimately become spiritually mature. And if a believer is in doubt as to how they should respond/react to these trials, then they should ask God believing that He will give them the wisdom necessary to endure through their trials.

Beatitudes - The Poor in Spirit
You might say that the Beatitudes are Jesus’ introduction to Christianity 101. Each one is like the link in a chain that cannot be separated from the rest, and are in a specific order. They are descriptions, not requirements, to expect when you belong to his kingdom. It starts out, and rightly so, with the poor in spirit. You realize that you are spiritually bankrupt and completely helpless to change your sinful nature. You acknowledge your deplorable and despicable hopeless situation. This drives you to your only hope—the Savior Jesus Christ!
