Present in the Presence

Part 2: Present in the Presence

Blessed is a term frequently overused in our society, leading us to potentially overlook its true meaning and significance in scripture. To be blessed is to receive God’s provision, favor, and deliverance – something we would all love to have! We desire to be like the tree planted by streams of water, prospering in all we do. Often, we fill our days with work and activities, hoping they will add meaning and prosperity to our lives. However, this passage teaches that true flourishing comes from allowing God’s word to change our lives, not from our own efforts or achievements. When we set out to do God’s will, God’s way, we experience his kingdom here on earth – and that is the blessed life!
