ARE YOU BLESSED...BEYOND MEASURE?

BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE
...that I will certainly bless you, and I will certainly increase the number of your offspring like the stars of heaven and like the sand which is on the seashore. And your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies. -Genesis 22:17

What is blessing? Blessing is an act the is conducive to happiness and welfare. If we look at happiness it is not what one can buy but it is the main principal thing when we talk of blessing. It is either you get it from God or Satan who will never and cannot give you happiness.

The greatest blessing God gives is His presence. If I could choose any of life's blessings, I certainly would not ask for wealth, because wealth cannot bring freedom from pain, concern, or anxiety. I certainly would not ask for popularity, because there is no rest for the world's leaders.

My choice, my highest honor, would be to have God with me always.

When God is with us, there is no difference between Nebuchadnezzar's fiery furnace (Dan. 3:19) and a comfortable bed. It does not matter! We will be happy in either. If God is with us, if His divine love surrounds us, then we carry our own atmosphere and residence wherever we travel, and we can say with Moses, ―Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations (Ps. 90:1).

The individual who can say this is full of heaven, full of God, and blessed beyond measure.

This is the privilege of all who truly believe in Jesus, of all who come out from the world, and of all who, like Abraham, live a life of faith (Gen. 12:4). Bow your head, believer, and let the Lord God pronounce this blessing, ―I will bless you.

If you are sorrowing, suffering, weary, or burdened, receive this blessing from God's own mouth, ―I will bless you.

If you are poor, despised, or slandered, this blessing is not shortened. Take it with you, and go on your way rejoicing. 

Shalom!
