Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!~Luke 1:43
Do you want to be blessed? I do! And I know that the Lord wants to bless me and all of His children, but in order to receive that blessing we must believe. We have to believe in the promises He has given to us. We must believe His Word as a matter of fact. His Word is not theory or supposition. God’s Word is true and reliable. The Word of the Lord will never fail ( Luke 1:37).
Therefore, every promise that God has made to me will be fulfilled. When I exercise my faith by proclaiming and living out my belief in the power and promises of God I am blessed. I am blessed with a peace that surpasses all understanding. I am blessed with self control and am able to turn the other cheek when someone offends me. In fact, I can check myself for being so easily offended because I have no reason to fret because of Who I know.
I am blessed with the joy of the Lord which is my strength to endure the trials and tribulations in this earth knowing that it is making me into pure gold. These test are purifying me so that I can be presented before my King. I am blessed because my God supplies all of my needs. I am humble and secure because God is with me, Immanuel!
During the Christmas season the secular world focuses a lot in believing in Santa Clause and the “spirit” of Christmas. People seek to be kinder for a moment and do good to others. There is nothing wrong with kindness and showing love, but it is often only temporary because they believe in a temporary thing. I choose to believe in the everlasting truth of God. I believe in the Father who gave His Son to the world. I believe in the Son who gave His life for me and rose again with all power. I believe in the Holy Spirit that lives in me and guides me to all truth and righteousness. I believe in the promises of God and I am blessed.
Amen.
