The Blessing


Isaiah 44:3b (HCSB) - "I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants and My blessing on your offspring.

Are you seeking a blessing from God? Too often we seek for material things, however we find in the Scriptures that the real Blessing that God is willing to give is the Holy Spirit. He is the One who adds value to everything that you are and that you do. He is the One who will bless you and keep you as we find that great benediction in Numbers 6:24 - 25. Read it with me, “The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you...."

So, how do we receive this blessing? Well, do you seek a financial blessing - yield your checkbook and money to Him. Seeking a blessing at work - yield your every moment and thought of business to Him. Want a blessing in your health - yield your body to Him. You should be getting the picture now. We often pray for God's blessing and we don't release it to Him.

Muse over this today, "Have I been asking God for a Blessing and not turning myself over to Him?" Ponder what areas of your life that you have been seeking God's blessing, and still wanted to handle everything your own way. If you are saved, you already have God's Blessing - the Holy Spirit - all you need to do is give Him control of your life.
