"God bless you!"

"God bless you!"

So often we speak glibly about God's blessing! When someone sneezes, we say "Bless you!". But what is blessing, particularly God's blessing, and what implications does that have for us?
First of all, God is the greatest Being in the universe! He created all things, he sustains the creation, in other words he keeps it all spinning correctly and working according to plan. God is omnipotent, He is omnipresent, and all-knowing! Nothing escapes His notice! He is simultaneously able to listen to each of our prayers, individually! What is more, He cares about us on a personal level!

Wow!

This great God, wants to do good to us!

We are used to people not living up to our expectations. We are disappointed and our hopes are dashed. But with God all things are possible! God wants us to succeed. As a matter of fact He promises us that what he started in us He will complete, finish, bring to a successful conclusion!
He promises to always be there with us, in good times and bad!

That's the God I worship! Isn't that awesome? That such a great Being would actually care about what happens in my life!

It brings the ups and downs of life into perspective. If God be for us who can stand against us?
So be encouraged! What you may be going through today will be gone tomorrow. And there is laid up for us a future which is beyond our wildest dreams!

Our God is a God of blessing!
