A Blessing for You

In Genesis chapter 12, God makes the following statement to Abraham: “I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great.” (Genesis 12:2abc) Now for some people it might be easier to think that God would bless a great man like Abraham rather than a lesser person like them. (Do you think like that?) This mindset can be tied to how a person was treated when they were growing up. Maybe they were overshadowed by a brighter brother or sister who drew all the attention. Or maybe they were just plain neglected either physically or emotionally, etc. Whatever the underlying issue, a thought pattern that says, “God wants to bless others, but not me,” can be a hard one to break. But God does want to bless you, my friend! It wasn’t because Abraham was such a great man that God chose to bless him. The Lord is no respecter of persons. He treats everyone the same. The man or woman who puts their faith and trust in Jesus Christ in any generation has put themselves in God’s sights to receive His blessings. Don’t you ever forget it! The Lord’s looking to bless someone. And that someone happens to be you!
