Do you ever pray…”Lord bless me”? Bless my family, my future, my job, etc.?
How does God bless us, or better yet, when does He bless us?
Well, according to the Word of God, He shows us the path to walk in that is blessed, we just need to trust Him as we walk in it.
Look at James 1:25
“But the one having looked intently into the perfect law, that of freedom, and having continued in it, not having been a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work–this one will be blessed in his work.”
The “perfect law of liberty” I’ve talked so much about, is the moral law. It is a guideline for how to live. The more we understand it, the more we grasp the framework for how to live life….God’s way.
Do we want His blessing? He has showed us how. Go about your day, do what is necessary, and while you do it, honor the Lord by allowing those principles to guide you in how you act, what decisions you make and the path to follow…and you will receive God’s blessing. He promises it.
Reject this path and what follows is fear, lack of strength and our work will simply come to nothing, it will be burned up as Isaiah 42:24-25 illustrates.
To follow Gods law is to live honorably and then righteousness is imputed to us as we are obedient.
This should be our ultimate aim in life.
