God is a God of blessing. He blessed the people of Israel and taught His spiritual leaders to pray His blessing over His people.
In the New Testament, we see God continues to bless His people. He gave us the privilege of being called His sons and daughters.
Jesus sacrificed Himself so that He could bless us. He made the way for us to be saved and become God’s sons. It was His will to save or rescue us.
You must be made one of His.
Jesus extends His hand to you, inviting you to be blessed. He understands that religion may have burdened you, but His grace is here to set you free. While religion dictates, grace declares it finished, once and for all.
Jesus loved to bless people. He blessed the little children. Jesus blessed two disciples on the road to Emmaus. He blessed in the Sermon on the Mount.
Israel was a blessed and kept people.
Consider how God had blessed the nation of Israel. He called them and made them His people when they weren’t and didn’t deserve such a blessing. He rescued them from slavery. God gave them His Holy Word. He gave them the promised land. He dwelt with them in His Tabernacle.
Blessing them meant prospering them. God wanted His people to prosper and enjoy success, so blessing them meant giving them good gifts.
God bless you today. Know that He does, He has, and He will continue to do so. We are the blessed of God.
