The God Who Bestows Great Blessings
“Praise be to the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly
realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3).
There is likely no one who would refuse the blessings bestowed by God. Even the Israelites, who received abundant
material and spiritual blessings from God, rejoiced greatly after receiving
these great blessings. However, the
issue lies in what happens after receiving blessings. Without a mature character that can discern
how to enjoy received blessings properly, one may end up wasting life,
selfishly indulging in the blessings given by God, as happened with the
Israelites. So, how can one possess a
mature character that knows how to enjoy blessings? It should come from a heart that is guided by
God's commandments rather than being led by the blessings. Like the Israelites, disregarding God's laws
and becoming prosperous in this land can lead to committing a grave sin of
disrespecting God. When guided by God's
commandments and led by His word, we can glorify God through the great
blessings He bestows upon us in this land. We are already individuals who have received every
spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms (Eph. 1:3). In the blessed Jesus Christ, we should humbly
and wisely enjoy all these blessings, giving great glory to God.
