Lord, help us never to think, “We are blessed because we are obedient.”
A Prayer For Every Day
Lord, help us never to think, “We are blessed because we are obedient.” Help us always to say, “We are blessed because You love us and Jesus died for us.” Your love for us, Jesus’ death for us: This is where the blessing comes from – and it’s where our obedience comes from! We think of Your great love for us. We think of Jesus, crucified for us. We say, “Lord, You love me. Help me to love You.” We say, “Jesus, You died for me. Help me to live for You.” This is how Your blessing comes to us – You show us how much You love us, You put Your love into our hearts, the obedience grows stronger – and so does the blessing!

What did Daniel do for God that made him to be blessed with wisdom and knowledge to interpret dreams and help govern the kingdom ? Nothing.
What did Abraham do for God that made Him promise; “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. ……. and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you ? Nothing.
What did David to for God that made him to be blessed and promised that his seed will be the Son of God, will build a house for God’s name, and will reign forever from David’s throne in Jerusalem.? Nothing.
What did you do for God to receive His energy, health, wisdom,……………? Nothing. Unconditional LOVE is what binds us with God. Go and do the same with fellowman.
