Am I blessed?

I think we already know the answer to the question above. No matter what you think you are blessed. All you have to do is look around and you can always find someone who is not as fortunate as you. Go to another country and look around, you are blessed.



What I want you to see this morning though is there is a key to the ultimate blessed life. Here it is:



Psalm 128:1



1 Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways!



Key #1: Fear the Lord! God even breaks it down more for us here:



Proverbs 1:7



The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.



Can God make it any plainer than that for us?



Key #2: Walk in His ways.



Do what God has told you in His Word. He knows what is best for each of us. He loves us and that's why He has given us this instruction book called the bible for life. Here is another verse for that:



Romans 12:1-2



12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.



Give your entire life to God!



If you are looking for great riches of this world to be your blessing, that is not what I am talking about here. I am talking about needs here. God will meet your needs, not your wants.



I am blessed beyond measure. Thank you God, thank you God. May I surrender every second of everyday to your will for my life.
