Car is not a blessing,
Even atheists, robbers and criminals have cars.
House is not a blessing,
Even atheists, robbers and criminals have houses.
Millions in account are not a blessing,
Even atheists, robbers and criminals have billions of dollars in their accounts.
That is not a blessing.
That is not even a sign of divine approval.
In old testament, blessing was money or material acquisition, because it was a sign of God approval.
In the new testament, we are approved by God since we are born again and believe in Jesus as our Saviour and our King. God approve us as his children.
That which is born in flesh is flesh, that is born in spirit is spirit.
« For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh. »(Philippians 3:3)
So, what was blessing to people of the Old Testament physically is blessing to us spiritually.
From the moment we become children of God, everything that God has belongs to us because we also become his heirs:
« Now if we are children, then we are heirs–heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ [sharing His spiritual blessing and inheritance], if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. »(Romans 8:17)
All blessings have been given to us, we do not need to ask for them. What we need is only to open our eyes to see them, recognize them and use them correctly for the glory of God.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, grant us to be aware that as your children we all have your blessings.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
