BIBLE READING : Proverb 10, 11, 12; 2 Corinthians 4
“The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it” Proverb 10:22 (KJV).
The blessing of the Lord is not about money or material things. It is an empowerment to do well. The blessing of the Lord ensures riches, health, protection, success , victory and wellness. It can manifest as riches, favour, speed, grace, honour, fruitfulness , uncommon breakthrough or open doors. The blessing of the Lord enriches the recipient without sorrow with it. Everything that comes from the devil come with sorrow added. Most things that come from man have pains added. Most men will do things to constantly remind you of your indebtedness to them because of the help offered to you. The devil may exchange long life with financial prosperity or for lifting.
God’s plans and thoughts for us are of good not of evil, to give us hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). God’s blessings are expression of his love, his kindness and his mercy. We serve such a caring God who gives to us richly all things to enjoy. His blessings come with peace and joy. He raises the poor from the dung hills and makes him sit with kings, he makes the barren to give suck and to become joyfully, mother of children (1 Samuel 2:8). He is the one that gives us power to make wealth, He gives riches and extends long life to enjoy it.
God’s blessing makes the difference in our lives. It is a distinctive factor in life that guarantees favour and grace. What an awesome God we serve.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for sorrow-free blessing.
