From Worthy Devotionals:
Genesis 12:2 And I will
make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and
thou shalt be a blessing:
"When we read this passage of
Scripture, the first thing that probably comes to mind are all the promises that
God gave to Abraham and the nation of Israel. But it occurred to me that there
is a bigger lesson that we can learn here.
We tend to focus on the part
of that scripture where God does the blessing -- but why did He bless Him? The
answer lies in the passage! The Lord told Abraham: "I will bless you --- and you
shall be a blessing." Abraham was blessed so that he could be a
blessing!
The same is true today. The Lord has done so much for us! He
has blessed us with so many things, the most important of which is His mercy in
that He died for sinners like us! He has bestowed us with so much grace! He has
allowed us to come into His Kingdom and be a part of the great things He's
doing! What we have received should not only be for our own enjoyment but for
the salvation of a dying world around us!"
