How can we ensure "God blesses us" through our daily actions and choices? Rooted in the Promise “God blesses us, and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.” (Psalm 67:7) Psalm 67 ends with certainty: God is already inclined to bless His people so that the whole world stands in awe of Him. Our part is simply to live in step with that promise—never to earn His favor, but to walk where blessing naturally flows. Setting the Heart in Line With Blessing • Choose reverent fear: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.” (Proverbs 9:10) • Treasure obedience: “If you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God…all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you.” (Deuteronomy 28:1-2) • Seek first His kingdom: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33) Daily Choices That Invite His Favor • Align your mind with Scripture – Start the day in the Word (Psalm 1:2-3). – Memorize verses that confront areas of weakness. • Cultivate pure conduct – Turn from known sin immediately (1 John 1:9). – Guard speech, media intake, and relationships (Ephesians 4:29). • Practice grateful worship – Voice thanks before asking for anything (Psalm 100:4). – Sing or speak praise during routine tasks. • Steward resources faithfully – Honor God with the firstfruits (Proverbs 3:9-10). – Budget generosity toward the needy (2 Corinthians 9:6-8). • Walk in active love – Forgive quickly, as Christ forgave you (Ephesians 4:32). – Serve without spotlight (Matthew 6:3-4). • Maintain prayerful dependence – “Pray without ceasing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17) – Invite the Spirit’s guidance before decisions (Romans 8:14). Blessing With a Purpose God’s favor is never an end in itself. Like Abraham, we are “blessed to be a blessing” (Genesis 12:2-3). When we live under His smile: • Others glimpse His character through our joy and generosity. • The gospel gains credibility as people see tangible evidence of His goodness. • Nations are drawn to fear and worship the Lord, fulfilling Psalm 67:7. Living the Psalm 67:7 Reality Today • Start each morning acknowledging His covenant promise to bless. • Order the day’s tasks around obedience, gratitude, and love. • Expect His favor to spill over, touching every person you encounter. Stay in the pathway of His revealed will, and you will continually discover what Psalm 67 celebrates: “God blesses us”—and through you, He magnifies His fame to “all the ends of the earth.” |
