Blessed to be a blessing!

Genesis 12:2 says ""I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing." This is the promise of God to Abraham. Putting a bit more thought into this verse, we realize that there is a another lesson that we can learn here instead of just focusing on the blessing of Abraham.

It is important that we also take into consideration the reason why Abraham is being blessed by God. The Lord told Abraham: “I will bless you and you shall be a blessing.” Abraham was blessed so that he could be a blessing!

The same is true today. The Lord has done so much for us! He has blessed us with so many good things, the most important of which is His grace and mercy - undeserved favor! He has allowed us to come into His Kingdom and be a part of the great things He’s doing! What we have received should not only be for our own enjoyment but for the salvation of a dying world around us!

God gives freely to us so that we may give freely to others! Let’s not be afraid to give out the blessings God has granted us! Share HIS goodness!

To whom much is given, much is required. We are blessed so that we can be channel of HIS blessing to others.

Be Blessed.
