The Bible offers several principles for living a life of blessing and abundance, rooted in faith, obedience, generosity, and trust in God’s provision.
We can have blessings and abundance if we do these things
Trust and seek God first. prioritizing God’s kingdom and righteousness align us with His promises for provision and blessing. Matthew 6:33 tells us, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Put God at the center of our lives, trusting Him to meet our needs. People fight so hard every day to make ends meet, but God promises He will supply our needs if we follow and trust Him.
Obedience to God’s Word. Following God’s commands brings blessing. Deuteronomy 28:1-2 tells us, “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all His commands, blessings will come on you and accompany you.”
Obedience positions us to receive God’s favor and abundance.
Generosity and Tithing. Giving freely and faithfully invites God’s provision. This has to be the hardest command from God. Because it goes against what we think. Our brains tell us “If I give this money away, I will lack.” Many times I have given money, and received a huge blessing. One example I needed surgery on my mouth, my molars came in when I was 51 years old, and they were impacted. I have no dental insurance and the surgeon wanted cash upfront. I didn’t have it, I could not schedule the surgery. The exact amount of money came in the mail from a reimbursement I didn’t know I had come. Now that was a God thing.
Malachi 3:10 tells us, “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse…Test Me on this, says the Lord Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”
God’s commands are linked to promises of prosperity, protection, and favor. I’m not saying you will get “rich” if you obey God, but many blessings will come your way. God’s love is tied to joy and spiritual fulfillment.
Blessings aren’t always material or immediate, but they do bring peace, and purpose, eternal life.
