The Two Sides of Blessing
Scripture often shows blessing flowing from doing – praying, giving, serving, obeying, sacrificing. Yet the Psalms reveal a blessing that begins with leaving. Here, progress becomes regression, discipline grows from delight, stillness bears fruit, leaves stay green in drought, and prosperity isn’t possession but presence. The blessed person is not the one who always produces – but the one who never dries. What if the blessing you seek is found in what you must leave behind?
The Flex of Fulfilment
Society tries to sell us stuff all the time, because we’re often unsatisfied with what we have. The Bible exhorts that ‘godliness with contentment is great gain’. If we’re always discontented, perhaps we’re not walking in godliness. In a world of greed and covetousness, contentment is the real flex to a life of fulfillment.
