…and…
6 The land yields its harvest;God, our God, blesses us.
7 May God bless us still,
so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.
God blesses us so that His “ways may be known on earth,” and His “salvation among all nations.” Later on, it says that as God continues to bless us, “all the ends of the earth will fear him.”
Financial Blessing Demonstrates God’s Love
The gifts God gives us aren’t just a reward for being righteous. They’re a tool He uses to demonstrate His love and power to people that don’t yet know Him. You may live in abundance because you worked hard to serve people and to walk faithfully with God, but there’s more to it than that. God has blessed you because He wants to to make an example of you.
God has blessed you because He wants to make an example of you. tweet this!When God blesses us with anything, He intends for those blessings to speak of His goodness. All too often, though, we are tempted to take credit for His blessings. We use them to call attention to ourselves instead of to the Father who gave them to us. When we do that, we’re missing the point entirely. God owns everything, and the fact that He has blessed us is a testimony to His love.
So, don’t ever feel the need to hide your abundance or apologize for your blessings. Instead, use the great things God has given you as an opportunity to tell other people about the wonders of His love.
