In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I delve into a topic that is both profound and often misunderstood: why God wants to bless you. I want to clarify from the outset that this discussion is not about the prosperity gospel, which can distort the true meaning of God's blessings by equating them solely with material wealth. Instead, we explore what the Bible genuinely says about God's desire to bless us and the purpose behind that blessing.

I outline three key points about the blessing of God:

  1. You are blessed to be a blessing to others: The blessings we receive are not just for our own benefit but are meant to be shared with those around us. When we focus on serving others, we align ourselves with God's intention for our blessings.

  2. Blessings are collective and community-driven: In our individualistic society, we often forget that we are part of a larger community. The blessings God provides are meant to uplift and support the collective, not just the individual.

  3. Your blessing is a sign of who God is: Our blessings reflect God's goodness and serve as a testament to His character. When we walk in His presence, we become a living example of His love and grace, drawing others to Him.
