MOST blessed is this person...

Why are some people more blessed than others? The answers are in the Bible, bottom line. Although we must not judge others with regard to the conditions set forth, we need to evaluate our life and be humble to align ourselves to the conditions as necessary, for the glory of God. Where ever we are in life, God can bless us in the midst of our circumstances and bring us out of the pit of hopelessness, IF we let Him. God paid a huge price to receive us into His family with all of the benefits! Let's partake and enjoy! Sometimes we Christians go through tests and trials. Sometimes the devil throws a punch below the belt when we are not looking. We are all at different places in our journey. But over all our lives should attest to the abundant provision and goodness God has for us, His children>(John 10:10). We should always be able to attest to the faithfulness and goodness of God. This passage in Jeremiah 17:7-8, explains that a person who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence is in Him, is MOST BLESSED! He will be like a tree planted by the river. Will not fear or even see when drought comes (or difficult times that could destroy the tree if it depended on the external conditions). The tree will look and be alive! It will not cease bearing fruit. How? It's nourishment comes from within-not from the outward circumstances. Our inward life with the Holy Spirit is where we will receive the nourishment we need for living the abundant life Christ came to give us. I'm on that blessed journey! How about you? God has already blessed me so very much! During this season of thanksgiving, let's keep in mind how blessed we truly are, and let it be a fresh committment for the rest of our lives!
