Be a Blessing

Be a Blessing

There are so many selfish acts that we witness daily. People do harm to others over money or jealousy and it has become the norm to read or see on the news.  As Christians we are expected to be givers. We know that it is better to give than receive. If you want to feel good than do good. One of the best things you can do is give and assists someone in need.  I challenge you to be a blessing to someone today.   The bible says in Deuteronomy 16:17 every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which He has given you. Simply put if you can come to someone’s aid do so. Advice and encouragement is great but if you can be the direct blessing and solution then make the person in needs life easier. We as a people are too worried about ourselves and other people getting ahead. What is meant to be for you will be. The Lord already has your life set before you. You never know if the person you meet is an Angel or not. That person that is broke down along the road. Or maybe that person asking for changing really does need it. What about that person you know that needs a job but you do not want to get them on where you are for fear of their advancement? This is not how God wants us to be.  James 2: 15-16 says  Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.16 If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed, but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? As Christians it is good to know the word but it is GREAT to apply it.  Be someones blessing today and when you do so keep it between you that person and God. Some of us look for too much recognition. Humility comes before honor. A lot of people already are ashamed to ask for help the help that they really need for fear of being exposed or mocked. There is no place for self-glorification in Gods army. If he wants you to be raised and honored there isn’t a man on earth that can keep that from happening.  Matthew  6:3-4 says But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Be a blessing today and watch blessings over flow in your life.
