As a Christian we are called to be a blessing. Psalms 103:1-5 is a Psalm of King David where he describes God’s blessings. When we bless God that means we praise Him, kneeling in humble adoration. Praise is our response for what God has done for us. Under the New Covenant obedience is our response to blessing not the means of obtaining it. Jesus empowered the 12 disciples and sent them on a missionary trip to preach the gospel, heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who had leprosy and drive out demons. Christ does the same for us today, empowering us for service, so we can bless others the way we ourselves were blessed. The lost, sick, dead, leapers, and demon possessed surround us and we choose to interact with them or avoid them on a daily basis. It takes a conscious effort on our part to not shy away, but rather to bless those who are most in need of our blessing.
