BLESSINGS

Refuse all evil, and goodness will embrace you:

Psalms 34:12-15 What man is he that desires life, and loves many days, that he may see
good? Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and
do good; seek peace, and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his
ears are open unto their cry.

We should always have our thoughts on God:

Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

Honor the Lord with what He blesses you with:

Proverbs 3:7-10 Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall
be health to your navel, and marrow to your bones. Honor the LORD with your substance,
and with the firstfruits of all your increase: so shall your barns be filled with plenty, and your
presses will burst out with new wine.

We are blessed for being diligent to God:

Proverbs 22:29 Do you see a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he
shall not stand before mean men.

God blesses the righteous with wisdom and happiness, who get the
wicked's wealth:
Ecclesiastes 2:26a,b For God gives to a man that is good in His sight, wisdom, and
knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner He gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that He may
give to him that is good before God.

Put an end to all evil, and you will be blessed:

Isaiah 58:9b-11a (TEV) If you put an end to oppression, to every gesture of contempt, and to
every evil word; if you give food to the hungry and satisfy those who are in need, then the
darkness around you will turn to the brightness of noon. And I will always guide you and
satisfy you with good things. I will keep you strong and well.

The invincible God is on the side of the righteous:

Amos 5:8,9,14,15 (NIV) He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns blackness into
dawn and darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over
the face of the land- the LORD is His name- He flashes destruction on the stronghold and
brings the fortified city to ruin. Seek good, not evil, that you may live. The LORD God
Almighty will be with you, just as you say He is. Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the
courts. Perhaps the LORD God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.

To be blessed, apply what God says in your life:

James 1:25 But whoso looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being
not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Those who please God receive what they ask from God:
1 John 3:21-23 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do
those things that are pleasing in His sight. And this is His commandment, "that we should
believe on the name of His son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us
commandment."

God hears us and answers our prayers:

1 John 5:14,15 And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing
according to His will, He hears us: and if we know that He hears us, whatsoever we ask, we
know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him.

Jesus will give authority to those who endure:

Revelation 2:26,28 And he that overcomes, and keeps My works unto the end, to him will I
give power over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a
potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of My Father.

Jesus will claim those who endure:

Revelation 3:5 He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not
blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before My Father, and
before His angels.
