You Are Blessed

“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you, The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” (Numbers 6: 24 – 27)

THINK BLESSED,
TALK BLESSED,
WALK BLESSED,
ACT BLESSED,
Because you are BLESSED.

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him by evidencing we are blessed. That is a wonderful way to let others see Jesus in us and be attracted to Him.

If you don’t feel blessed go outside in some open space and look around. Let the blessings of the design of nature wash over your soul as you are blessed by the creative artistry of the divine Creator. If He has done all of that by design He is surely able to refresh and renew His apex creation, the wonder and wonderful you.

Blessed are those who see lovely things and beautiful people in humble places.

You are blessed to be a blessing.  “So encourage each other to build each other up…” (I Thessalonians 5:11). Blessed to be a blessing.

You can be a blessing if you “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2)

You can do it by a timely kind word spoken. Remember, “Kind words are like honey sweet to the soul and healthy for the body” (Proverbs 16:24).

You are blessed when you decide to live in harmony with God’s holy will for you and resolve to fulfill it against any odds. It should be remembered, however, that there are persons who can’t tolerate people who are living by His standard.

Be encouraged by this: “And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil” (I Peter 3: 12 – 17).

As an inspiration, sing or at least remember that little chorus with these lines. “When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.”
