Blessed to Be a Blessing

Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.” —Genesis 12:1-2 (NKJV)

Abram was 75 years old when God told him to go. No matter what your age, if you have the breath of life in your lungs, then God still has a plan for you. Like Abram, we have to be willing to leave what is familiar and comfortable to go to the new place God is calling us to. That will involve giving up those things He is telling us to let go of, whether its fear or some unhealthy relationship, etc.

We can be confident that as we faithfully walk with Him and fulfill His call and purpose, the blessings will come. Instead of hoarding them for ourselves, may we let the blessings flow through our hands and touch the lives of others. He overflows our cup (Psalm 23:5) so we have more than enough to share with others.

The blessing of the LORD brings [true] riches, and He adds no sorrow to it [for it comes as a blessing from God]. (Proverbs 10:22 AMP)
