God is the source for every blessing. The blessings of God are always all-inclusive. Spiritual blessings and physical blessings supplements and compliments each other. It would be a paradox if one claims spiritual blessings with no physical manifestation of such blessings in one form or the other. A pauper may praise God for his poverty, but that perhaps, may be a preliminary propaganda and prerequisite for more provisions. Nevertheless, I dare not deny that one cannot be joyful in poverty; for poverty may be of various kind. But in a very real sense, one who is blessed by God cannot be in poverty, for poverty is the lack of something. Any one blessed of and by God is full and rich in spirit, though he may seem to be poor outwardly and he will always be self-sufficient at least.
The Lord's sovereign blessings upon our family is also very rich and unsearchable. In addition to all the spiritual blessings the Lord has bestowed thus far, He faithfully supplies us according to His riches, much much beyond my mere human imagination, both spiritual and physical. To these, I bow my knees in honor to the source from which it came, God, the all-sufficient One.
My wife and I always keep the principle of honoring the source of every blessing we receive, be it spiritual or physical, be it small or big. In fellowship and in one accord and prayer, we would sanctify the best portion for the Lord, though everything is already from the Lord. Of late, as we did that we were really filled with joy and the burden to give more arose within us. What a blessing indeed to be able to offer from what God has blessed! The more the better, the more the greater our faith grows. I hope I can exponentially increase the amount of offering.
Few weeks later of this particular experience of offering the best portion for the Lord, the Lord poured out additional blessings, again beyond expectation. It just came! Whoever was the channel, the initiator is truly God Himself. Now the matter is how do we faithfully be a steward to the Lord's allotment? This is a reality check. Especially of the heart. I literally go before the Lord in fear and trembling that He may cover me with His blood and grace me to be a proper and faithful steward. That His blessings may be contained and multiplied even much more.
This also is an opportunity to honor my physical parent. Since the Lord called me to serve, only in few occasions I could honor them physically. As and when the Lord blessed, the blessings will always be shared with the saints and also with the family; a proper way to honor our father and mother, even physically.
The Lord is faithful, and He has proved it over and over again. His faithfulness to me is the means for me to have faith in Him, for apart from Him I am just faithless. His appearing even in physical blessings is a way of His imparting His faith into me to have faith in Him in return.
Lord, thank you for all Your blessings; make me a faithful steward of Your blessings by appearing to me again and again.
