Being Blessed

Good Morning!! Believe it or not, showing signs of being blessed, can bother some people to the point of questioning God's judgment. This is a thyme that repeats it self, from the story of Jonah, to the older brother from the prodigal son story. We want to decide who is deserving, or worthy of God's blessings. Like the worker, that even though he had agreed on a certain wage, became angry at the end of the day, when he saw others getting the same amount without having spent as much time, as he had, in the field.

'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' "—Luke 15:31,32 (NIV)

What has it got to do with you, whom God blesses,...or by how much? Do you think that the God of ALL, will run out of blessings? Don't you know; that our blessings, are not based on our actions alone. What God has for us is for us,..and it will not run out before we receive it. When God blesses someone we should all rejoice. And if He blesses someone we think undeserving,..we should rejoice all the more,...because of what it means for us, and ours. If He takes care of those that do not know Him,...how much more will He care for His own children?

The reason so many people, past and present, have been confused by Jesus’ ministry is because; man continually tries to define who and how, God should be,...according to their own wisdom and standards.
Father God, who are we to question You? Even Your Word reminds us, that Your ways are not our ways. The righteous shall live by faith…no matter how it feels,...or how weak we are,...or how confusing the circumstances may be. We need to have an attitude of worship in our thoughts, our actions and our words. We are to follow Your lead,...not tell You where to take us. Help us to understand; that when there is hope for the least of us,...there is hope for the rest of us. In Jesus' name, Amen.
