How does humility relate to being blessed?

In Matthew 5:3, Jesus teaches, 'Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.' This beatitude highlights that those who recognize their spiritual poverty and dependence on God are truly blessed. David, in Psalm 34:6, exemplifies this by stating he is a 'poor man' who cries to the Lord. Acknowledging our need for God's grace leads us to a deeper faith and reliance on Him. In humility, we are able to receive the blessings that come from trusting in God's goodness and mercy.
