"And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing....” (Gen 12:2).
Abraham was not only blessed; he also became a blessing. So it should be with each of us. God doesn’t bless us just so we can selfishly consume His blessings. He intends for us to use His gifts for the benefit of others. If we fail to do this, He will likely cut off His stream of blessings to us.
The Dead Sea is at the lowest sea level on earth. The Jordan River flows into it but nothing flows out of it. And it is so dead that nothing lives in it. So it will be in our lives.
The Sea of Galilee has streams flowing both into and out of it. It is teeming with life. It keeps on receiving and keeps on giving.
Has God given you money, health, talents? “Give and it shall be given unto you....” (Luke 6:38).
