A Blessed Blessing “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” Genesis 12: 2– 3, NIV God chose Abraham to be the father of our faith. He asked him to leave his father’s land— Ur was actually quite prosperous and cultured, so I’m sure it was not an easy place to leave— to travel to an unknown land and destination. He wanted Abraham to separate himself from the godless forces at work in his world. He challenged Abraham to leave his comfort zone. Abraham obeyed. God promised to bless him, to make his name great, and to make him a blessing to others. He promised to bless those who blessed him and curse those who cursed him. He promised to bless all peoples on earth through him. God still chooses people today. In fact, God chooses you. Don’t look around. I’m talking directly to you. You are chosen. And the promises He makes to you are very similar to the promises He made to Abraham. He chooses you to step out of your comfort zone and obey Him in order that your life is both blessed and a blessing. I pray today that you will sense the great blessing that God is over your world, and that you would in turn live with your heart and hands open to share His greatness with all. Your call is sealed with the giving of Jesus. He will reveal His Son to you continually— that you may reveal Jesus to your world. Zschech, Darlene (2013-03-15).
