The Blessing of God
(NASB) Genesis 9:1-3 “AND GOD blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
2 ‘The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky; with everything that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given.
3 ‘Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant.”
Blessing of God:
In the days of Adam the LORD had given the people and the animals, plants and vegetation for their food…in the days of Noah, the LORD now added meat of animals to their diets. (See Genesis 1:29-30)
In the days of Adam the LORD gave people the complete authority over animals, birds and creatures in the seas. (See Genesis 1:26)
Blessing of God:
The LORD told Noah, as He had told Adam and Eve, to have children…
Children are granted as a special act by God…as the newborn baby is held by the parents…they are blessed. Those tiny feet and hands…the softness of the skin…the wonder of birth…all are a blessing.
Blessing of God:
There are other ways in which the LORD blesses His children…perhaps not through a baby but in other ways…have you asked Him to show you how He has blessed you, and is blessing you in your life today?
There are men and women, who for whatever reason, have no children…the LORD also blesses you and can bless many through you…
How is He blessing you?
