25 The generous soul will be made rich,
And he who waters will also be watered himself. (Proverbs 11:25 NKJV)

I will be doing a 10 part series on what I call “The Daily”. This is 10 things we should begin our day with and ask God to help us be to others.

“God bless me so that I may be a blessing to others.”

Beginning our day by asking for blessings is probably not new. However, asking in this way may be. Do not seek to be blessed only for yourself, but do so that you might become a blessing to others.

People are seeking someone to bring joy into their lives. If we are honest, most of our days feel pretty mundane. We do our thing, day in and day out, and one simply seems to run into another. There may be little that feels special one day to the next. This is where we need to begin to shake things up. Praying that God will bless us so that we might have an opportunity to pass that blessing along to others. We are looking to lift our lives up but also lift others up too. And when we find the opportunity to bless others we find we are blessed in the action.

Reflect on: How you might bless someone today, and every day. Seeking to bless others is the simplest way to find blessings in our own lives.
