In the Jewish
community, the promise, “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed
shall you be when you go out,” refers to being blessed in the affairs of one’s
daily life, whether in or outside one’s home.
So here, God is saying
that you are blessed in your everyday life. Do you believe it? Do you believe
that every day, your family and work-life are blessed? Or do you think that you
are blessed only during Christmas when you receive your gifts and year-end
bonus, or when you get that promotion you have been wanting? Perhaps you think
that the blessed life only begins when you meet the man or woman of your
dreams!
No, my friend, you are
blessed every day and you have God’s Word for it. Psalm 68:19 says, “Blessed be
the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our
salvation!” And because God’s Word says so, believe that every day of your life
is loaded with benefits. Every morning, when you get up, believe that it is a
day that the Lord has made, and rejoice and be glad in it (see Psalm 118:24). Start
the day expecting it to be loaded with the benefits that God has prepared just
for you
At night, when it is
time to sleep, know that you will be blessed when you get up in the morning
because there will be another load of benefits from your heavenly Father, who
so loves you unconditionally, waiting for you!
You can’t make your
blessings happen. But if you will just believe what God has said in His Word
and act like it is so, the blessings will manifest in your life. In fact, God
wants to bless you more than you want to be blessed! His Word declares it:
“Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go
out…Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our
salvation!” (Article & Picture;
