I AM BLESSED - Ephesians 1:3
"All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ."
DEVOTIONAL
What does it truly mean to be blessed? The world often defines blessing as wealth, success, or comfort, but God's definition goes far beyond material things. Being blessed is not about what you have—it’s about who you belong to.
The Lord gives us a blessing in Numbers 6:24-26, "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace."
Ephesians 1:3 tells 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." Your blessings are not just earthly; they are eternal. You have been blessed with God’s presence, His love, His grace, and His promises.
Even in difficult seasons, you are still blessed. Blessing isn’t the absence of struggles—it’s the presence of God in the midst of them. James 1:12 reminds us, "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him."
So today, instead of measuring your blessings by what you can see, measure them by what God has already done.
You are chosen, loved, and secure in Him—and that is the greatest blessing of all.
