How really a-tune are we to how blessing works. In my own life I feel I fall prey to the same washed out, watered down theology that say's that "God is good so my life should be a reflection of that goodness." The problem is that I put the onus on God instead of myself. God is good. His nature unchangeably 100% loving and good. So where does the problem lie in the gap that seems to be between his goodness and my blessing. Possibly the four areas of which that goodness flows.
- Praying with real fervor and intensity. As if my life and the life of others depends on it.
- Fully falling in love with God's word that has the power to fill me with blessing every day.
- Really giving weight to the sin in our lives and desiring with my whole being holiness.
- Finding God's full blessings released in direct correlation to how much I give.
Onus on me or onus on God? I guess I'll start with number 3, confessing I am the problem with blessing.
