Whoever Brings Blessing Will Be Enriched!

Whoever Brings Blessing Will Be Enriched!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who bring blessing. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Proverbs 11:25 (ESV) is about how God takes care of his own.

”Whoever brings blessing will be enriched,
and one who waters will himself be watered.”

It is time to take a fresh look at God’s message in Proverbs. It seems God will take care of those who bring blessings. He will also refresh those who refresh others. Bring blessing and be one who offers water to those who are thirsty. Look for opportunities to bless others and take care of their needs.

At Night!

At Night!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who remember your name in the night and keep your law. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Fear. Anxiety. Worry. Nighttime can be especially terrifying for some people. Even believers can be overwhelmed at times.

In Psalm 119:54-56 (ESV) we learn the psalmist thinks about the Lord at night.

“Your statutes have been my songs
in the house of my sojourning.
I remember your name in the night, O Lord,
and keep your law.
This blessing has fallen to me,
that I have kept your precepts.”

If you get overwhelmed in the night, remember the Lord is with you.

Need to confess? Do so. Pray. Follow God’s statues, laws, and precepts. Think of God’s blessings.

Blessing Your Neighbor!

Blessing Your Neighbor!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who bless their neighbor. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Considering proclaiming a blessing over someone? Make sure to pick the right time and place.

Ever heard the phrase, “It is not what you say, but how you say it.”

It is the last part about “how” that can make all the difference.

Tone and volume can change how the person on the receiving end of the communication thinks about what was said.

Proverbs 27:14 (ESV) considers the time and the effect the volume has on listeners.

“Whoever blesses his neighbor with a loud voice,
rising early in the morning,
will be counted as cursing.”

Solomon provides an interesting observation. A blessing was given. Yet, the time it was given and the way it was given brought about the opposite of the intended effect.

“Your statutes have been my songs
in the house of my sojourning.
