The beatitudes were given to the disciples by Jesus and a wider audi ence than the 12 (Matthew 5:1) (Matthew 7:28-29) but have application to those that are mentioned by Him also and that includes us too.

Certainly!
While I have also not invested preliminary and refreshment of critical study, I have always held these as bedrock upon everything coming to the Spirit's wellspring writing of the heart. Then, once we recieve Christ, and the times of refreshing and infilling of the Holy Ghost become prominent, those words of our Lord are brought to life! Hallelujah!

Can't help but sing today,one of my old favorites,'Happy,happy,happy. Happy in the LORD. Praise God,I'm born again,trusting in His Word. I want you to know,how happy I am,for I am happy,happy,happy in the LORD'.

I suppose I should have clarified this earlier. For instance, to the natural mind, to fullfil this verse would seem impossible without some extensive effort.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. (Matthew 5:6)

The Amplified Bible has a lovely translation for 'Blessed' (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous-with life-joy, and satisfaction in God's favour and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit...Matthew 5:3
Indeed...
Happy are those who know their need of God

When i think of these verses, what comes to mind is the child-like-ness that Jesus was referring to when He allowed the little children to come to Him and said that "for such is the Kingdom of Heaven".

'Now the man Moses was very meek,more than all men that were on the earth' (Numbers 12:3) As we know 'meekness is not weakness'. It is humility before God.
