THE PROMISE Part 2

Posted on

“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.”             Genesis 12:2 NIV

 

The Lord offers Abraham and us the choicest of all: “I will make you a blessing.” This is the privilege of being used to bless others, the joy of a fruitful life. There is nothing more wonderful than that. It has been my privilege on a few occasions to have our Lord use my life in a way that has opened and blessed the hearts of others, and I tell you there is no other joy like it on earth. It is the most thrilling experience to feel that our Lord has used us. The words we have spoken, the things we have said and done. This is what our Lord offers to us who believe in Him. But there is yet a third part: “I will bless those who bless you and him who curses you I will curse, for by you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” This is about identification with the Lord. It is what every parent thinks of their children: “I will bless those who bless him, and those who curse him I will curse.” Our children are the apple of our eye, and whatever touches them touches us. John writes, “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” (1 John 3:1 NIV). We will be identified with Jesus Christ in the eyes of the world. Everywhere we go, we will be either a blessing or a curse, but no one will ignore us. When our lives are vitally in touch with Jesus, we will have the effect He has when He touches a human life.

 

PRAYER THOUGHT

Lord Jesus, touch the lives of others through our life with You.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Lord Jesus, as we are vitally connected with Your life through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, touch and bless the lives of others, as You have with our own lives. AMEN
