What are you doing with your blessing?
Posted by Lev/Christopher on February 2, 2009 at 11:55am in Inspirations / Devotionals
Genesis 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
When we read this passage of Scripture, the first thing that probably comes to mind are all the promises that Yahweh gave to Abraham and the nation of Israel. But it occurred to me that there is a bigger lesson that we can learn here.
We tend to focus on the part of that scripture where Yahweh does the blessing -- but why did He bless Him? The answer lies in the passage! Yahweh 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. Yahweh has done so much for us! He has blessed us with so many things, the most important of which is His mercy in that He died for sinners like us! He has bestowed us with so much grace! 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!
Yahweh gives freely to us so that we may give freely to others! Let's not be afraid to give out the blessings Yahweh has granted us! Share Yahweh's goodness! To whom much is given, much is required!
