Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Deuteronomy 28:3–8

“Why don’t I see blessings in my life?” you ask.

Maybe God has blessed you more than you realize. Maybe you haven’t taken the time to think through the way He’s blessed you in the city and in the country, blessed the fruit of your body, blessed you in the storehouse, blessed you in your basket, blessed you with victory over the Enemy who threatened to crush and destroy you. Maybe He’s blessed you more than you think. And maybe part of the issue is to stop and review what He’s done for you and to rejoice in that.

But more importantly, maybe you don’t see God’s blessings in your life because you’re working too hard to even notice them . . .

After wasting his father’s money in the far country, the Prodigal Son returned, not to punishment, but to a party. “Unfair!” said his older brother to their father. “I’ve been with you every day, working faithfully. But you never threw a party on my behalf.”

“Son,” the father answered. “All that I have is yours” (see Luke 15:31), as if to say, “Any time you wanted, you could have had anything and everything you desired. But you were too busy being self-righteous, working in the field trying to impress me, trying to earn something from me to come out of the field and into the party.”

So too, many of us have said, “I’m going to pray more. I’m going to work harder. I’m going to worship with greater intensity. I’m going to give more money. I’m going to teach Sunday school or work in the nursery so that I will be blessed,” only to find that it never works.

We’re blessed, gang, no matter what we do or don’t do simply because we’re His. But now God wants to use us. Isn’t it amazing that God would want to use us?

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. - Galatians 2:20

The more we allow Christ to work in and through us, the more He taps us on the shoulder, saying, “I’ve already blessed you. Now I want to use you. Go out there and serve for My glory.”
