When God blesses us, it is to the end that we would be a blessing to others. When we forget this, we miss the point and neglect God’s purposes.

It makes us feel good to be set aside, elevated, and blessed, but we must never forget that God has a goal that entails more than just making us feel special.  

When God called Abram out from among his relatives and away from all that was familiar, it was for a purpose.  Abram’s consecration and elevation – his great name – was not an end in and of itself!

God’s plan was always to extend God’s blessings and to redeem all of humanity – Abram was to be God’s conduit – the one through whom God blessed others. Abram is an example.

Get it? 

We are the means through which God wants to bless others. We must never forget this.  Otherwise, instead of conduits we will become like clogged pipes – bursting rather than blessing! 

² And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 

Genesis 12:2

As we aim to ‘be blessed,’ may we never forget to be a blessing!

Good Morning, I love you all!
