The Rich Blessing

 

Everyone loves a blessing. We understand that a blessing is grace, gift, pronouncement of favor, or an endowment granted to an individual through God’s goodness. Yet, there are many things that people call a blessing, which is not a blessing.

Nothing that you end up crying about, complaining about, and wishing you never had, was the blessing of the Lord. How can I say that? Well…

The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Prov 10:22 (KJV)

We should never settle for a temporary fix, but for eternal satisfaction. God only gives a rich blessing. Whatever He brings into your life will enhance you and that which concerns you. If God does it, no sorrow will be joined to it.

Consider your life today and the things you once called a blessing. Are they a curse to you now? Well… there is hope. You can trust God that He will bring people, places, and things into your life that will add to you greatly. Stand in faith today and ask God for a blessing that will enhance and satisfy.

Prayer of the Week:

“God, give me grace to recognize things in my life that did not come with your blessing. Help me to desire what you have for me. Amen.”
