Psalms 119:2 NKJV

Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart!

Psalms 119:2 NKJV

Our heavenly Father made us His children, in His image and likeness, and placed us in the world in a blessed position.

The enemy lied his way into taking from mankind what was rightfully ours. The state of being blessed is one that satan stole from God's children.

Praise be to God our Father who sent His Son Jesus to purchase back this state, this position of being a blessed person through His death on the cross.

Therefore, everything God requires of us is not for Himself but for our sake.

It is for us to be living in the blessings that He has purchased for us.

Every time we obey God, we live out the blessed life God has given us. We don't obey God to be blessed; we are blessed by God and restored in His image and likeness. That is why we obey God.

We go to the assembly to worship together because we are blessed.

We serve because we are blessed.

We share the gospel, feed the hungry and clothe the naked because God has placed us as blessed people.

If we keep His word, we align ourselves to flow out the blessings that are in us. When we seek the Lord wholeheartedly, we will begin to multiply the blessings God has put within us.

Blessed is a state God has put in us, and to overflow these blessings and to multiply them is a state of good stewardship where we become a wellspring of life to others.

We don't worship God to be blessed. We worship God because God has bestowed upon us blessings that are beyond any measure.

Therefore, acknowledge that we are blessed by God to be a blessing to all who come to know us.

Live in the Blessings

Ps Ambrose
