WANT A BLESSING???

“As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.” —Ps. 109:17

The law of recompense says you reap what you sow (Gal. 6:7).  It is an infallible law that is repeated throughout the Bible, confirmed empirically by science, and demonstrated countless times in people’s lives.

Jesus repeated this law in Luke 6:38, “Give, and it shall be given unto you… For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Solomon said, “Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days” (Eccl. 11:1). What you give will be given back to you—You give out love, you’ll receive love in return.  You give out hate, hatred will come back at you.  When you show mercy, mercy will be shown to you. As you judge people, you will be judged the same way. “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again” (Mt. 7:2).

The law of recompense also applies to being blessed.  The blessings of God are not to be hoarded or kept to ourselves.  They are to be shared with others.  God blessed Abraham to be a blessing to the world (Gen. 12:2; Zech. 8:13).

Our text says the reason why some are not more blessed than they are is because they take no pleasure in being a blessing. The way of blessing is simple—If you want a blessing, be a blessing!

As the song says, Make Me A Blessing.  Be a blessing to someone today, and see a blessing come back to you!

Who will you be a blessing to today?
