Even so Abraham BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham. The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU." So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer.
(Galatians 3:6-9, NASB)
Followers of Jesus Christ are justified by faith in God and are therefore "sons of Abraham." And we are blessed by God.
Foremost, we are blessed with salvation and the promise of eternal life with our Lord and Savior. I, for one, am looking forward to that!
But think of all the ways God blesses us each day. Or perhaps I should speak for myself.
I’m blessed with a supportive, loving husband. I’m blessed with caring, praying family and friends. I’m blessed with a roof over my head, food to eat, clothes to wear.
And even through the difficult parts of my life, I’m blessed. I suffer from ill health, yet I’m blessed with the confidence that Jesus carries me through those days when I can’t carry myself. I don’t have children of my body, yet I’m blessed with many children of my heart.
Blessings through sunny days and mountaintop experiences. Blessings through storms and deep valleys.
All because I’m a daughter of the King, a woman of faith.
And that makes me smile. A lot!
