2 Chronicles 9:7 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
Praise the Lord!
Today we will meditate upon happiness in the Lord. You are called blessed.
Queen Sheeba out of joy said these words. She was elated that a kingdom can be ruled with such splendor and grandeur where the servants were treated like princes.
She termed these people as happy or Blessed because they were constantly looked after by their king.
How can we term ourselves as blessed people.
1. Blessed are those whom God Corrects
Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
We are blessed because we have a God who corrects us when we go astray. Saints when you face trials and tribulation don't think that you are forgotten. We have a God who was tempted in all temptations and was victorious.
2. Blessed are those who eat the labour of his hands
Psalms 128:2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
Sometimes we feel defeated and dejected when we see our colleagues who do all mischief and wicked thing and get promoted in life. Be of good cheer you have a God who knows your efforts and will give you rewards for the fruits you bear.
3. Blessed is he whom God is Lord.
Psalms 144:15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
We always find people who trust in rich people, prominent person, sometimes they trust their riches. But blessed are you when you trust the Lord. He is your shield and strength. And the one who has the God of Jacob as his help who can stand up against him.
4. Blessed are those who has mercy on poor.
Proverbs 14:21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
When you lend to poor you lend to Lord and he will return sevenfold back to you. So give cheerfully and without grudging.
5. Blessed are those who keep the law.
Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
When you keep the law or Lord's commandments you are doing things which are pleasing to God. He will be your guide and give you directions to walk in his path.
6. Blessed are those who endure.
James 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
Saints when we face trials and tribulation we have to show patience and faith knowing that God is faithful. He has not forgotten you. You are the Apple of his eye. If you suffered for righteousness sake you are termed as blessed. ( 1 Peter 3:14). If you are reproached in the name of Christ, be joyful as your name is written in heaven. ( 1Peter 4:14)
7. Blessed is he who considers and humbles himself as Servant as Christ humbled himself.
John 13:16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
Saints, we have a Lord who is our Father and creator of all being. It is a privilege to call ourselves as servants of most high God. When you know who you are you will call yourself as Blessed.
Saints, today when you hear these words know that God is careful and mindful about you. You need not worry about anything.
John 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
Let's abide in the love of Christ and give him the fruits of salvation.
God Bless
