Blessed to Be a Blessing

Psalm 67:1-2
“May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations.”

The blessings and favor of God can easily be squandered on selfish pursuits and personal gain. However, the Psalmist points us in a better direction. God’s blessings and favor are an opportunity to point others who ask and wonder why, to the source of the blessing – the Living God. God’s mission is to reveal Himself to the nations that all nations might respond in faith to the salvation offered in Christ Jesus. There is a blessing that is received when we live according to God’s ways. But that blessing is meant to be a platform from which we testify to the goodness and opportunity available to all to know God’s face in relationship through Christ. We have been blessed to be a blessing.

Are we living that message?

Thank you Father for your favor and blessing – may you be revealed and your ways known through my life this day.
