Blessing Others

                                                  

If you had the opportunity to do something to help someone else and yourself, would you do it?  Most likely you would.  What action would help someone else and yourself?  It is simply the Biblical principle of blessing the other person. 

Not only is just blessing the other person helpful, but it also encourages a deeper spiritual walk and relationship with the Lord.   Blessing, especially Biblical Blessings found in God’s word, brings life in to our being and situations.    God’s word is light and life.   When we grumble, judge, fail to bless or encourage, we are actually hindering the work of God’s word in someone else, and that action or lack of action, as it really may be, also effects us and hinders our relationship with the Lord.

Consider this prayer:  Father, help me to bless others with your words, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Reflections:

Though we have the opportunity by choice to bless, what do most of us do?  We grumble.  IE a beautiful sunny day may be too hot.  

Can you think of a scripture which encourages us to encourage someone daily?  Hint—it is in Hebrews

Has someone blessed you—not only did it affect you feelings positively—did that blessing make a difference?

Why does the Lord want us to bless others?
