Some of the blessings are intangible, some even mystical. They are deep and cause us to search our souls. I just now encouraged someone who lost their mother. She felt support and strength from her Christian friends. Even at a distance, she knew they cared and were there for her at this difficult time. It is part of who we are. We should be able to feed off one another’s righteousness. We should be connected at our sore and know that “the just live by faith” and that we trust Him to get us through it all not only as an individual believer, but together. When one hurts we all hurt, when one rejoices, we all rejoice. We share pain and loss, victory and blessings. We are the Body of Christ. There is something righteous in the corporate sense of that. There is power and hope. We are not alone in our righteousness or our unrighteousness. Isn’t that comforting?
1. Death does not loom for the righteous. (Proverbs 12:28)
2. He hates lying. (Proverbs 13:5)
3. The righteous rejoice. (Proverbs 13:9)
4. Good shall be repaid to the righteous. (Proverbs 13:21)
5. He shall eat to the satisfying of His soul. (Proverbs 13:25)
Today, may the Lord bless you, touch you and fill you with His love, peace, grace, and hope. May you see Him all around you and in others. May His gentle ways encourage your hearts. May you be reminded that we share in our victory over death and our disdain for lying, our rejoicing and the good we are repaid. We share the satisfaction of breaking bread, celebrating communion and fellowship over meals. We are indeed blessed and we share blessings.
God bless you and yours,
Pastor Fred
