How To Guarantee Blessings In This Life

Ps 1:1-3 - How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers. NASU
  • Walk Where You Are Supposed To 
The best way I know to be blessed in this life is follow the instructions from the Psalmist. Do Not Walk or listen to the counsel of the wicked or ungodly person.
 
I remember before I was a Christian listening to a guy about how I could make some real easy money by selling drugs. That bad decision cost me a lot of grief and money. As I look back on my life what I have discovered is the best way to provide for yourself and your family is find a job you love to do and do it.
 
Once you have found that job give it 100% everyday. Paul wrote to Timothy he quoted to him an Old Testament passage when he said, in 1 Tim. 5:18 -For the Scripture says, "YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING," and "The laborer is worthy of his wages."
 
The Psalmist also tells us where we should stand and sit. In other words, he is telling us where to hang out and who to hang out with. Paul said it this way: "Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals." (1 Corin. 15:33).
 
As I have said before, "Show me your friends and I will show you your future." The Psalmist's best advice to us is don't stand or sit with the wrong people. 
  • Blessings Come By Doing The Right Things 
Once we find delight in the Law of the Lord and we meditate on it the blessings will come our way. You will notice he compares us to a tree that yields its fruit. One of the greatest ways to receive blessings is by doing what the tree does give fruit.
 
When we give ourselves to helping others is there really any blessing that compares to it.
 
In the book of Acts Luke penned it this way: "In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
 
How to guarantee to be blessed in this life is by helping others.
 
Last September I organized a food pack for the people of Ukraine through IDES. My original goal was 50,000 meals. We asked people to make financial contributions. They gave so much money we were able increase our goal to 60,000 meals. Now I needed to recruit a 100 people to give 4 hours of their time.
 
When I thanked everyone for coming to help accomplish this goal they let me know it was a blessing to them to be able to participate in this worthy cause. Find a worthy cause and invest yourself in it and you will be guaranteed a blessing.

Think About These:
 
Charity is twice blessed - it blesses the one who gives and the one who receives.
 
This was in a church bulletin: The Lord loves a cheerful giver. He also accepts from a grouch.
 
The best gift we can give some people is a chance.

​Stay Pumped,
