Because He loves us? Yes.
Because He promised to provide? Yes.
Because He is good and kind and loving? Yes.
But there's another reason for His abundant blessings and it's found toward the end of 2 Corinthians 9:8. He blesses us so we will have all we need at all times, but for a greater purpose than our comfort. He blesses us abundantly so that we in turn can bless others. He call this "good works."
God doesn't just bless us for our benefit, but so that He can meet the needs of others through us - through our generosity.
So, if today you have more than you need, ask God if there is someone you need to bless.
We are His hand extended to the poor, the needy, the broken-hearted and the downtrodden.
Prayer:
Father, thank you for your many blessings. Thank you for providing all my needs. When you pour out an abundance of blessings, Lord, open my eyes to see the needs around me and give me a heart as generous as yours is. Amen
