Here it is…how to receive God’s blessing. And then, I arrived at verse 7…”But I will bless those who trust me.” Each day we have a choice.  We can decide to humble ourselves and see God for the Almighty powerful loving God He is.  Or we can ‘handle’ things ourselves. We can choose to be blessed or cursed. I want blessing. 7 But I will bless those who trust me. 8 They will be like trees growing beside a stream— trees with roots that reach down to the water, and with leaves that are always green. They bear fruit every year and are never worried by a lack of rain. Jeremiah 17:7-8 Contemporary English

But You, O Lord, are a shield for me,

But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the one who lifts up my head. I cried to the Lord with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill. Psalm 3:3-4 NKJV

“I will make you into a great nation,     and I will bless you;

Genesis 12:2,3 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
