Blessings

Do you ever feel caught between two ways of living? Caught between a life that longs for the blessing of the world and the life that longs for the blessing of God?

The world blesses glamor, physical prowess, brilliance, efficiency, beauty, and money. Jesus does not bless these things. Jesus blesses mercy, peacemaking, righteousness, and purity of heart, among other things.

We need to learn which blessings to ultimately seek. We need to learn to ultimately value the blessings that Jesus valued over against the blessings that the world values.
