God Bless You
David Jeremiah / Turning Point
I will bless those who bless you . . . and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
Genesis 12:3
Recommended Reading
Deuteronomy 7:6-8
When someone sneezes we say, "God bless you." Or we use the phrase to appreciate someone who gives needed help. Sometimes we close our correspondence with it. But more than a figurative expression, the concept of blessing carries great significance. We read in Scripture that when God blesses, it is a sign of His relationship with a person or nation and His grace upon them.
God created a people for Himself, the nation Israel, to bless the world through the gift of the Savior and Messiah, Jesus Christ, and His saving plan of redemption and grace. Genesis 12:3 promises that God blesses those who bless Abraham's descendants. Conversely, the history of nations that have abused the Jewish people proves the inevitable doom to those who don't choose to bless Israel. The promises of God toward Israel cannot be compromised or renegotiated at the political bargaining table. God has a plan for Israel, and His words never fail to accomplish their purpose (Isaiah 55:11).
As we wait for God's ultimate new world order, pray for your pastor and political leaders. And God bless you, friend, as you pray for "the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122:6).
Anything is a blessing which makes us pray.
