Let me be clear: if you are in Christ you are blessed. Ephesians 1:3 reminds us:
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
Where we sometimes go wrong is we too often equate the blessing of God with only the material things. The blessings of God that matter most are not food, clothing, and money. These things are important, don’t get me wrong.
However, the blessings that aren’t always seen are the most important...and the ones that matter most. How important is peace, joy, hope, and confidence in a God who will never leave you or forsake you?
When you grab hold of these spiritual blessings you truly begin to experience God’s favor that shines regardless of the situations you are facing.
To be blessed and highly favored may not mean what you thought, but it doesn’t discount the fact that if you are in Christ you are blessed. I encourage you to grab hold of all of the promises and blessings that God has for you in Christ. God’s desire is to shower you with grace and favor. He requires that you walk in agreement with the conditions of his promises, but when you do—watch all that God will do in your life.
