Blessings

Blessing : ( 2Sam.7:18-29)18 King David went into the tent and sat in front of the Lord. “Who am I, Almighty Lord,” he asked, “and why is my house so important that you have brought me this far?
19 And even this you consider to be a small act, Almighty Lord. You've also spoken about the distant future of my house. Almighty Lord, this is the teaching about the man.

20 “What more can I, David, say to you, Almighty Lord, since you know me so well!
21 You've done this great thing because of your promise and your own desire. You made it known to me.

22 “That is why you are great, Lord God. There is no one like you, and there is no other god except you, as we have heard with our own ears.
23 Who is like your people Israel? It is the one nation on earth that God came to free in order to make its people his own, to make his name[21] known, and to do great and wonderful things for them. You forced[22]1 Chronicles 17:21 "Your land." nations and their gods out of the way of your people, whom you freed from Egypt to be your own.
24 You created the people of Israel to be your people forever. And you, Lord, became their God.

25 “Now, Lord God, keep the promise you made to me and my house forever. Do as you promised.
26 Your name will be respected forever when {people} say, ‘The Lord of Armies is God over Israel.' And the house of your servant David will be established in your presence.
27 You, Lord of Armies, God of Israel, have revealed it especially to me, saying, ‘I will build a house for you.' That is why I have found the courage to offer this prayer to you.

28 “Almighty Lord, you are God, and your words are trustworthy. You promised me this good thing.
29 Now, please bless my house so that it may continue in your presence forever. Indeed, you, Almighty Lord, have promised it. With your blessing my house will be blessed forever.”

HIS PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING. 7:18-29

David's prayer is full of the breathings of devout affection toward God. He had low thoughts of his own merits. All we have, must be looked upon as Divine gifts. He speaks very highly and honourably of the Lord's favours to him. Considering what the character and condition of man is, we may be amazed that God should deal with him as he does. The promise of Christ includes all; if the Lord God be ours, what more can we ask, or think of? Eph 3:20. He knows us better than we know ourselves; therefore let us be satisfied with what he has done for us. What can we say more for ourselves in our prayers, than God has said for us in his promises? David ascribes all to the free grace of God. Both the great things He had done for him, and the great things He had made known to him. All was for his word's sake, that is, for the sake of Christ the eternal Word. Many, when they go to pray, have their hearts to seek, but David's heart was found, that is, it was fixed; gathered in from its wanderings, entirely engaged to the duty, and employed in it. That prayer which is from the tongue only, will not please God; it must be found in the heart; that must be lifted up and poured out before God. He builds his faith, and hopes to speed, upon the sureness of God's promise. David prays for the performance of the promise. With God, saying and doing are not two things, as they often are with men; God will do as he hath said. The promises of God are not made to us by name, as to David, but they belong to all who believe in Jesus Christ, and plead them in his name.

Dear Heavenly Father God,

Coming to You, I open my spiritual eyes, and I see the world as blessed by You. As Your child, as Your image and likeness, I use the power of blessing, praying for all the things around me.


I bless all of my affairs.
I bless my spirit, soul and body.
I bless all the avenues of my supply.
I bless my relationships and all the people around me.

As I bless, I know that I inherit the blessing, and all good things come to me in divine order.

As I bless, I believe that my words will not return to me empty, but they will accomplish their purpose and succeed in the things for which I sent them.

As I bless, I recognize that all blessings come from You, and I am glad to be a channel of Your blessing to the world.

Thank you, Lord!

Let it be so,

Amen!
