Blessed to be a great blessing!

84:12 Psalm “LORD Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.” (NIV)

Go ahead, admit it, you have been greatly blessed. We are not talking riches or fame or position. We are talking the real blessings of life, health, family, friends, home, food, shelter, and so much more which we just take for granted. We are generally living lives which are MUCH better than the kings or rulers of the past centuries. Yet, we seem to always want more… and that’s OK if the more you want is so that you can do more, share more, love more, help more…etc. Blessing are not meant to be stored up… they are intended to be shared generously and with a grateful heart. Besides, you cannot imagine ALL of the blessings God has planned for you… just as soon as you have room to receive them. So, remember: “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.“ (6:38 Luke, NIV)

Remember to give this verse to family, friends, and co-workers in His kingdom. Ask them to name something that they have been blessed to receive. Ask if they try to share their blessings with others. Remind them of our verses and the times when we have received blessings from others. Enjoy the giving. You are helping to expand His kingdom by caring for His people through your gifts and service. Always Take Time For God’s Word© each day as you experience added blessings in your life, and remember this verse as “84:12” and say a prayer of thanks for all of the people that you are blessed to know. It should be easy to recall verses about being blessed. If you are focused on numbers, then this is an easy one as 8+4=12 (84:12)… or you are trading ‘8-for-12’ (84:12) (which is a 50% increase… nice trade)… or any other ways that create something as a memory tag that causes you to recall this verse. Knowing His Word and keeping it in our hearts and minds is a great blessing. By knowing His Word, it is easier to share it with those in need. Share that blessing often!

Please add to your prayers today all of the Christian preschools and day schools. The school year is ending but that means that they are enrolling students and preparing for the next school year. They have such an impact on their students and their families. It is such a blessing to have access to a quality education with the freedom to learn and discuss the Bible and the faith that we have in Christ Jesus. Please continue your support for Christian education. Encourage the teachers and the staff. Offer your help as a volunteer. Be that blessing to others. Pass it on as one who trusts that the blessings will continue to come and will continue to be shared through the love of Christ.
