Have you been blessed by God? Many people speak of being blessed by God when good things happen. They look to visible evidence of prosperity and peaceful circumstances as evidence of His blessing. There is a level of truth to this. The Lord is the author of life, the giver of all good gifts, and the source of peace and wellbeing. These are His attributes, whether or not they are currently part of our experience. As Jesus’ followers, we have been blessed because we recognize Him as the Son of God and the Living Word. Is this your perspective today?
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.—Matthew 13:16
Prayer: Lord, when You call us to lead in difficult situations, remind us of how blessed we are to know You. Let our leadership perspective continually be shaped by knowing whose we are and who we are. In every circumstance, You are good, and Your love endures forever. In Your name we pray, Jesus. Amen.
