I’ll try to make this Tuesday meditation short, by just emphasizing a couple of things I said in my sermon this past Sunday. First, when you get your desired blessing, a blessing you that falls under the scope of the will of God, don’t keep your desired blessing to yourself. Share your blessing, be it a thing, free time, your testimony, or a truth from the word that saved you from the power of sin in a specific area. When you receive a blessing, be a blessing. Second, when you bless someone, know that you are blessing the Lord and putting a happy expression on His face.
Now, I have been short. But I can’t take a shortcut and steer away from the specific word of God the Lord is specifically sending to you this morning. Therefore, read the passage below. Let is speak to you and answer the question, “What should you do with your blessing?” My friend, have a good day! Be blessed!
“Elisha replied, “Listen to this message from the Lord! This is what the Lord says: By this time tomorrow in the markets of Samaria, six quarts of choice flour will cost only one piece of silver, and twelve quarts of barley grain will cost only one piece of silver.” The officer assisting the king said to the man of God, “That couldn’t happen even if the Lord opened the windows of heaven!” But Elisha replied, “You will see it happen with your own eyes, but you won’t be able to eat any of it! “Now there were four men with leprosy sitting at the entrance of the city gates. “Why should we sit here waiting to die?” they asked each other. “We will starve if we stay here, but with the famine in the city, we will starve if we go back there. So, we might as well go out and surrender to the Aramean army. If they let us live, so much the better. But if they kill us, we would have died anyway.” So at twilight they set out for the camp of the Arameans. But when they came to the edge of the camp, no one was there! For the Lord had caused the Aramean army to hear the clatter of speeding chariots and the galloping of horses and the sounds of a great army approaching. “The king of Israel has hired the Hittites and Egyptians[ to attack us!” they cried to one another. So they panicked and ran into the night, abandoning their tents, horses, donkeys, and everything else, as they fled for their lives. When the men with leprosy arrived at the edge of the camp, they went into one tent after another, eating and drinking wine; and they carried off silver and gold and clothing and hid it. Finally, they said to each other, “This is not right. This is a day of good news, and we aren’t sharing it with anyone! If we wait until morning, some calamity will certainly fall upon us. Come on, let’s go back and tell the people at the palace.” (2 Kings 7:1-9 NLT)
