The Blessing
William M. Self, Sr.
Can you count the things you used
today that were made from the earth?
None of them would be possible
without Maker putting them there.
“May you be blessed by
the Lord,
the Maker of heaven
and earth.”
How many things will you use today that were “made”?
If you work in a factory, how
many things will you make today?
You probably never thought about the alarm clock,
the light switch, the light bulb, and the wiring…
The toilet, the faucet, the plumbing pipes,
the mirror, tooth paste, and the coffee pot.
Go back a 100 years and try to get in
touch with someone in another country.
Or, travel without the car, plane or train.
Wow!!! How much have you taken for granted today?
How much did you take for granted
in the first half hour of your day?
Was it a blessing to turn on the faucet and get hot water?
How many other blessings did you have today?
Read the label on your blessing Made in USA…
Made in China, Made in Japan, Mexico, Indonesia, Germany,
etc.
Blessings are produced from every part of the earth.
Listen to this Psalm…
“May the Lord make you increase, both you and your children.
May you be blessed by
the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”
Every one of those countless blessings you enjoyed
today is because God made the heavens and the earth.
And the Blessing that the Lord makes us increase.
God is the foundation
of every one of your blessings.
He made the earth full of riches, riches that have not
come close to being
tapped out since He created them.
God in His kindness has caused the
rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
Many curses have been made
by not heeding to God’s Word.
Yet, the blessings far out weighs the curses.
The Psalmist goes on the say…
“The highest heavens belong to the Lord,
but the earth he has
given to man.”
God has given the earth to us.
What are you doing with this
great blessing God has given to us?
God cares about your natural or physical needs.
He has given you the earth’s resources
and the ability to increase from it.
If we are faithful with the earthly things…
He will open the
windows of heaven which
belong to Him and pour out spiritual blessings.
Don’t forget to thank God the source of all blessings.

the tithes into the storehouse,
That there
may be food in My house,
And try Me
now in this,"

"If I
will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out
for you such blessing
That there
will not be room enough to receive it.

His sun rise on the evil and on the good,
and sends
