The blessing of God is
not intended to make us materially rich. In fact, material things have a way of
hindering God’s blessing! While he has promised to provide our needs, our
hearts must be set on Him and His Kingdom; “Seek Ye first the kingdom of God
and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.”
I could mention many
ways in which we feel blessed by God; and they all are true blessings, but I
think one of the most important and fulfilling dimensions of God’s blessings is
when we allow ourselves to become “channels” of God’s blessing. The blessings
of God in our lives, whatever we have received from God in our lives, be it
financial, good relationships, love, grace, or peace, they must flow through us
to reach people and show them God. When we are channels of those blessings, God
will turn their hearts toward Him. When we think of the many ways we have been
blessed, we ought to ask ourselves if we have just received those blessings and
held on to them for ourselves, or have we had opportunity to be a “channel” and
shared that blessing with someone in need?
