May He Equip You With All You Need For Doing His Will

May He Produce In You, Through The Power Of Jesus Christ,

Every Good Thing That Is Pleasing To Him.

Scripture

Hebrews 13

²⁰ Now may the God of peace—
    who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus,
the great Shepherd of the sheep,
    and ratified an eternal covenant with his blood—
 
²¹ may he equip you with all you need
    for doing his will.
 
May he produce in you,
    through the power of Jesus Christ,
every good thing that is pleasing to him.
    All glory to him forever and ever! Amen.

Observation

I had never realized how important it was for me to pray a blessing on people until Kathy and I attended a “Weekend To Remember” Marriage Seminar and the speaker challenged each man to pray a blessing on their wife each day as he was leaving for work.

If you have never tried to do that every day you need to try it. Kathy and I would laugh together because I had to really be creative so I didn’t pray the same blessing every day. It is just as important as that kiss you should give her before you leave the house … maybe … just maybe … it is even more important.

Why is it important? Glad you asked!

It is important because God loves to bless people!

Just look through scripture and you will find plenty of evidence that blessings are very important to God. God works through us when we ask him to bless people. He even asks us to bless our enemies.

Pray a blessing on your wife and children everyday!

 Application

I will continue to pray blessings on Kathy, my children, my grandchildren and my brothers and sisters in Christ.  

Prayer

Now may the God of peace—
    who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus,
the great Shepherd of the sheep,
    and ratified an eternal covenant with his blood—
 may he equip you with all you need
    for doing his will.
May he produce in you,
    through the power of Jesus Christ,
every good thing that is pleasing to him.
    All glory to him forever and ever! Amen.

Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault. All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen. (Jude 1:24-25)
