How to be Blessed by God

It is much easier to walk in the blessing of God when we submit ourselves to what God has already decided to bless. However many times we make decisions and choose a path and ask God to bless the decision we made.

I think the path of blessing lies in choosing God’s path.

Here is a short list of what God blesses.

Those who stay away from wickedness are blessed. “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.” (Psalm 1:1, NIV84)

Those who embrace God are blessed. “Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.” (Psalm 2:12, NIV84)

The righteous, those whose conduct and character are Godly, will be blessed. “For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.” (Psalm 5:12, NIV84)

The pure in heart and those who seek God will be blessed. “Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. He will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God his Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob.” (Psalm 24:3–6, NIV84)

Those who have had their sins forgiven by God and do not embrace deceit are blessed. “Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit.” (Psalm 32:1–2, NIV84)

The nation who follows God will be blessed by God. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.” (Psalm 33:12, NIV84)

Those who trust in the Lord and not in the proud or what is false will be blessed. “Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.” (Psalm 40:4, NIV84)

Those who care for the weak will be blessed. “Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the Lord delivers him in times of trouble. The Lord will protect him and preserve his life; he will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.” (Psalm 41:1–2, NIV84)

Those who spend time in the house of God and the presence of God will be blessed. “Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.    Selah” (Psalm 84:4, NIV84)

Those who are generous will be blessed. “A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.” (Proverbs 22:9, NIV84)

Those who are humble, meek, cry out for righteousness are merciful and pure in heart seeking peace will be blessed. “”Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
