“The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.” (Proverbs 10:22)

The Lord, in His love, bestows His blessings and gifts on all people.

For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” (Matthew 5:45).

It is human nature to always strive to be blessed in all aspects, especially the material aspect. Some think that blessing in this aspect brings happiness and goodness to their lives.

But a blessing far from the hand of the Lord brings nothing but a mirage and misery.

And it cannot satisfy the soul from within.

Because the blessing of the Lord is rich and does not increase fatigue.

A person who desires true blessing must be obedient to the voice of the Lord and do His pleasure first:

“For every good gift and every gift is perfect It is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." (James 1:17).

The Bible tells us that Noah was a blessed and obedient man.

"But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." (Genesis 6:8)

The Lord blessed Noah because he was a man of God.

The Lord commanded him to build an ark to save the generation from the corruption of men and to save his life. Noah did not think of the cost, the toil, or the mockery of men.

"Noah walked with God."
He obeyed His commands. At a time when evil and corruption prevailed, from men.

“And Noah did according to all that God commanded him; so he did.” (Genesis 6:22)

As a result of his obedient and submissive heart, the Lord gave him the direction to build “an ark for the salvation of his household.”

In this way, Noah and his family were saved. The Lord blessed him abundantly
and added no more toil.

Then God said:

“But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall go into the ark, you and your sons, and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.” (Genesis 6:17-18)

This is the greatest blessing

The Father’s heart desires to bless us

Do we obey His voice in doing what He asks of us?

Are we able to put all we have to the Lord first like the poor widow??

Jesus said:

"For all have cast in of their abundance, but this woman out of her poverty has cast in all that she has, all her livelihood." (Mark 12:44).

The Lord wants to bless us.

Do we obey the voice of the Lord first?

Are we willing to rise up and build in the work of the Lord??

"This, and that he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully." (2 Corinthians 9:6).

Are we willing to give of our effort, time and money to the work of the Lord??

"Each one as he has purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." (2 Corinthians 9:7).

Good morning with the light of Christ
