Where My Blessings Come From—Scripture: Genesis 39:3-4


Most people want to be successful in life. We want to be recognized as a person that has done well for themselves. This is normal and quite healthy; however the challenge arises when we reach the goal that has been set. We have a problem giving credit where credit is due. When people around you are enamored with your success and they are stroking your ego making you feel more important than you truly are, to whom do you give the credit for your success? 

I have found this to be true, whether it be healing, finances, family or some other area; God is the author of it all! The Bible reminds us that Joseph was in bondage but the Lord favored him and made him successful and prosperous. We as Christians must always remember that although we may have education and skills, it truly is God that opens doors. Finally in the face of opposition and trouble when we think that nothing good can come out of a situation, it is God and God alone that blesses us in a bad situation and makes it work for our good!

Consider:
Nothing in this world can hold back or limit God when he intends to bless us: God just wants the praise!

Pray:
Lord you are truly the fount of every blessing; I bless and thank you with my whole heart!

Determined to live by faith,
