Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most high, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” (Genesis 14:19,20 ESV)
Blessed
My dog is good for me, and I am good for my dog. My wife is good for me, and I am good for my wife. My children are good for me, and I am good for my children. My church is good for me, and I am good for my church.
And those things mimic God’s relationship with Abram, and with His people.
We know He blesses us. If you doubt it, I urge you to slow down and consider your life. Sometimes our eyes are trained to see curses, not blessings. Be assured He blesses you!
But somehow we are also a blessing to God! He is pleased when we choose to love Him. He inclines His ear when we pray. He is glorified when we worship.
God’s love causes both sides of blessing.
His love blesses us, and His love blesses Him.
