1 God be merciful to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us, Selah
2 That Your way may be known on earth,
Your salvation among all nations. (Psalm 67:1-2 NKJV)
Do you realize that God’s blessings on you are there so that others might see His salvation?
We are not blessed only for ourselves. God desires that others see those blessings and that we speak to others about how God is working in our lives. This is not a brag, it is a confession to others about our reliance and expectations when it comes to God’s work in our lives.
These are not things to keep bottled up in side us. Yes, God does this because of His love for us individually, but in doing so He is expecting us to further that love so that we shine upon others. And we should have such joy in this that we are quick to tell others where our joy comes from. This helps us fulfill the great commission in alignment with scripture.
Reflect on: Your blessings and how they shine through you showing God’s love to others.
