When God Decides to Bless You

Scripture:

“When Isaac planted his crops that year, he harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted, for the Lord blessed him. He became a very rich man, and his wealth continued to grow.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭26:12-13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

In the above passage, Isaac was blessed by God and it became very apparent that it was a work of God.  He harvested 100 times more than he planted and became a very rich man.  As a matter of fact, everyone around him realized this was not normal and attributed it to God.  There was no doubt that God had blessed Isaac.  Eventually he was asked to leave the place he was because he had become too powerful for those around him.  When God decides to bless you, He is more than able!

Application:

The greatest thing we can have in our lives is the blessing of God.  When God blesses you, everything changes.  When God decides to bless His children, those around them will know about it and realize this is God and God alone.  He will get the glory and not we ourselves.  The blessing above came because of the obedience of Abraham.  Obedience brings blessing.

Prayer:

Father, let Your blessing overtake my life.  Help me to walk in obedience as Abraham and Isaac did.  Teach me to hear Your voice clearly and to walk in Your ways.  Help me to position myself to see Your blessing.  You are amazing and I love You with all my heart.

Your Son,
Jeff
