Prayer to Be Blessed So You Can Be a Blessing to Others

The Bible tells us to never trust in material things. Just ask those who thought they were financially secure but then lost almost everything through an unforeseen change in the housing market. 

There are many people who wake up in the morning rich but go to bed that same night financially ruined. Far better than putting their hope in material things that are temporary, they should have fixed their hope in God who is eternal.

Jesus said that He came to earth to bless us with an abundant life (John 10:10). It is through Him that all the promises of God are ours (2 Corinthians 1:20). Every single spiritual blessing is ours in Christ right now (Ephesians 1:3).

Why does the Lord give us richly all things to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17)? He is our Father and loves His children. Like any loving earthly father, He wants to bless us. He also wants us to bless others and carry out His will here on earth.

Living a blessed life in Christ is a gift from the Father. It is truly an honor from Heaven. If the Lord has trusted you with a lot, remember to keep your eyes on Jesus and be faithful. Don’t ever think you are better than others just because much has been entrusted to you.

The truth is, God blessed you so that you could be a blessing to others. It's up to you to learn to see yourself as a steward of God. Your job is to look after and manage the blessings He has entrusted to you as He directs.

Not your will but His be done.

Today I ask you to use the prayer and the scriptures below to help stay in the place where God can trust you with many blessings. Ask Him daily how He wants you to use the things He has blessed you with to bless others.
