WE ARE BLESSED!

2 Samuel 7:29 NLT …For you have spoken and when you grant a blessing to your servant, O Sovereign Lord, it is an eternal blessing.

David reminds us that God’s blessing is forever and how reassuring that is. He doesn’t give us His blessing and then take it away again! When we’re tempted to think differently, just go back and read this verse again!😊

God does take something away though - He takes away our sins, our guilt and our shame and He gives us His very own righteousness in their place. He also gives us His love and favour. He gives us His own eternal life! What a blessing, we are eternal beings! No one else could do that because there’s no one like our God! 

Ephesians 1:3 reminds us that God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings and because they’re stored in the heavenly realms they can’t be stolen from us in the earthly realm. How reassuring!😊

Proverbs 10:27 NLT The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. God doesn’t want us to only have enough just for ourselves but to have more than enough so we’re able to bless others as well, to finance His kingdom and spread the gospel. What a lovely blessing!😊

Proverbs 10:6 NIV Blessings are on the head of the righteous,… Because God has given us His gift of righteousness, we know we now have His blessings poured out on us. Maybe you don’t ‘feel’ very blessed but don’t forget, as with all His promises, we receive them first by faith. Will you join with me as we open ourselves up again to believe for all of God’s blessings, not just some of them, and receive them today.😊

Thank You Lord, I am the righteousness of God in Christ, I am blessed going out and blessed coming in, and your blessing makes me rich to be a blessing to others. I receive it all by faith because I am united with Christ. Praise God I am blessed! Amen.
