Blessed to be a Blessing
Scripture
Genesis 12:2 (NIV)
I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
Reflection
Genesis 12:2 reveals God’s promises to Abraham for blessings and greatness, not for his benefit alone, but to be a conduit of blessings to others. Reflect on the concept of being blessed to be a blessing. Consider how God's blessings in our lives are often intended to flow outward, impacting and benefiting those around us.
Prayer
Lord, help me understand that the blessings I receive from You are not solely for my benefit but also for others. Guide me to be a source of blessing to those in my life and beyond.
Action Steps
