More Pondering on the Word 'Blessings"




I really need to study 'blessing' because I hear people say they have this or that and it's proof they are being blessed by God - living under His blessing BUT I know people that don't believe in God or they aren't living perfectly and they kind of know God that ARE just as blessed in that area - let's use an example.......

"A great crop this year  I canned 41 quarts  She has 14 -16 plus a mess to eat so I am thinking someone else can have some"
This person does not go out and pray over their 'crops' they just work hard and do what the instructions say to do. They have an overabundance to share.

Now others say they pray over their 'crops' and it's proof of God's blessing, they are living under the blessing.


Do you see what I'm saying? I'm beginning to think we are misusing the word 'blessing' and I want to understand it better.



Another example  - a believer has a baby - it's a blessing
a nonbeliever has a baby - it's a blessing
   they are both wonderfully and fearfully made by God in the womb.....




Just pondering.....
