Psalm 67:1-2 "God be gracious to us and bless us and cause Your face to shine upon us. That your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations."
We want God to bless us. Bless us with favor and success and good fortune. Bless us with health and happiness and easy times. Maybe with should ask God to bless us for His purposes.... "That His way may be known on the earth and His salvation among all nations."
Isn't the main purpose of our being blessed so that we will be happy and satisfied? So others will see how God favors us? Maybe a little to show His glory and purposes I think we would be even more blessed if we were blessed to be a blessing. Even when we don't think so or don't feel like it.
Blessings are wonderful, but that is not all the verse speaks of. It also asks for His graciousness and for His face to shine on us. I have an idea. Know His Grace, see His face, then be blessed to be a blessing. I think He would be glorified and we'd be even more blessed.
His Blessings to you,
Pastor Fred
