~ A God Who Blesses ~
This Series ~ This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God. Generally, we move in alphabetical order.
Introduction ~ Throughout the Scriptures a principle is clear. Obey God and receiving blessings or disobey God and receive your judgment. Consider just one example:
“Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today; and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods [anything that is more important to you than God] which you have not known” (Deuteronomy 11:26-28).
Scripture ~ “Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot” (Proverbs 10:6-7).
Comment ~ An important concept is remember that blessings are not always physical, not always visible, and not always in the present. There are many spiritual blessings both on earth and also in the future.
