Recovering God's blessing

The blessing of God has its beginning with the creation of heaven, earth and everything in it. God blessed his creation.

God's blessing for man, specifically, begins with the creation of the garden in Eden.

God, create a garden

God creates beautiful trees, of attractive visual appearance, fruit trees and everything good for man, also created a tree of life in the center and the tree of knowledge of good and evil and to water the garden, from Eden came a river. Genesis 2: 8 And Jehovah God planted a garden in Eden to the east; and put there the man he had formed.

There was everything to feel happy and comfortable

God carefully prepared a beautiful place for Adam and Eve to inhabit and delight, they had everything they needed in the garden, food, recreation and work because he was in charge of carving and caring for it.

Adam, worked not to eat, his job was to make good use of time, invested in keeping the garden well attended. God does not waste anything and time is very valuable, you must invest in something good.

God gave him permission to eat from every tree planted in the garden, and the specific order not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but also God explained to Adam, why obey? God said to him: Because the day you eat of him, you will surely die. Genesis 2:17

We rarely see God in the Bible explaining why to obey, he usually only commands, waiting for us to obey without asking for explanations. So Adam enjoyed great privilege, obeying God was all that Adam and Eve had to do to enjoy the blessing that was in the garden, ready for them.

Disobedience and its consequences

I try to imagine the beauty of the garden in Eden, the happiness and satisfaction of Adam and Eve living there, everything was made for them, a wonderful gift from God for their recent and most important creation, Man.

However, Adam and Eve were subtly deceived, in their hearts they sowed feelings of greed and envy, which led them to destruction as God had warned, their sin of disobedience separated them from God, beginning spiritual death of man, which was transmitted to the entire human race and its consequences.

• Enmity between the snake (representing Satan) the woman and her seed. Genesis 3:15
• Pain during pregnancy and childbirth, Adam receives the power to be his owner. Genesis 3:16
• Curse of the land, hard work, effort to get food. Genesis 3: 17-19
• They lost the right to live in Eden and enjoy the garden. Genesis 3:23

Adam and Eve did not measure the consequences of disobedience. The trap that enchanted their desires led them to lose God's blessing.

As the saying goes, "No one knows what he has until he loses it"

Disobedience robbed them:

• Peace
• Pleasure
• Freedom
• The food
• The comfort
• The recreaction
• The joy
• The privilege of living in Eden
• And the benefits of the garden

Recovering the Blessing

To recover it they had to die, a death to the domain of desires such as greed and envy, which are in the heart of man, and that led them to lose everything. Within us there is a rebellious nature that wants to do its own will and that separates us from God, we must submit that nature to God's dominion.

This is how we can die to our sinful desires, and then be ready to receive and delight in the Recovery of God's Blessing.

God, change the times to bless us

Times change to prove what material we are made of. Are we oak wood like the beautiful trees in the garden, or simple leaf litter? Do we have the attitude of praising and thanking God in hard times, or are we arrogant, proud, ungrateful when things are not going well? What material are we from?

God wants us to always be at the top, on the top of the mountain where the trees reach greater heights in their growth, like the trees in the garden that he created, and the weather is cooler, but when life brings changes, everything will depend of our attitude of victory, which is the triumph over adversity, because God will never leave us abandoned.

God, choose people to bless us

The blessing of God is also, those people chosen by him to bring the provision of everything we need, do not reject or question the chosen ones of God who bring provision in bad times, and even in good times, because today everything is going well, tomorrow we don't know, life goes around a lot.

We are not wiser or more capable than God, what he chooses is just what we need now or in the future. The bible says that a widow was chosen by God, to feed the Prophet Elijah in times of shortage. 1 Kings 17: 8-9.

God, renew the thought

We must learn to look beyond today, from what we have in front of our eyes, that asks us to change our thinking, so let's stop to think.

We who think so much, who are reflective, what is the thought that we must change? If God says that we must change the thought, we can be sure that we must do it; let's make sure we renew our mind, because doing so brings your blessing. Ephesians 4:23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.

God, behind the scenes of life

Life is like a play, each of us, we are the actors, and God is the writer, director and producer of the play.

Sometimes we actors, we want to do things our way, we don't want to accept everything the Director (God) tells us, and we end up crashing into a wall. If we have mistaken the way and things do not give the expected result, when we think it was the way or we even get confused believing that it was the route indicated by God for us, if not, let us rectify and seek more firmly the direction of God.

When God is not behind the scenes, moving his backstage scenarios, then let's stop, to give God the opportunity to take control and it is he who brings his powerful solution to our needs.

It may take (God) more time than we would like to wait, but let us trust (I also need to trust God) that he is faithful, and promised never to leave us helpless. Psalm 37:25 There is no just helpless person or his offspring who beg for bread.

God, the main factor in the recovery of the blessing

So far we have seen many factors that influence the recovery of God's blessing, one more missing, the most important of all, is the first and great step to take in the recovery of the blessing.

In him is the beginning of all things in the natural and spiritual life of humanity, I mean our Lord Jesus Christ, he gave his life on the cross of Calvary for you and for me, Christ paid the price for the sin that separated to the man of God, making possible the reconciliation and restitution of the privileges of a holy life, full and in complete communication with the creator God of all things, and who blesses with his abundant blessing, so that today through faith, We can lay hold on the blessing that he recovered with his death and resurrection. At this time it is possible to bring back to our lives all that Adam and Eve for their disobedience, lost.

Jesus Christ is alive, he rose from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit of God, currently the first blessing that was given to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, is again available to all through faith in Jesus Christ, and it’s that simple.

Your sins will be forgiven if you come with a sincere heart and ask God for forgiveness, you can not only recover the blessing of God that Adam and Eve lost by sinning by disobeying God, but also you can be saved, save your soul from eternal damnation, through a short but powerful prayer like this.

Lord Jesus I recognize that I am a sinner, I ask forgiveness for all my disobedience, I accept that you are the only Lord and Savior, I believe it with my heart and I ask that the blessing you recovered with your sacrifice on the cross of Calvary, restore it in me , thank you Lord Jesus.

God wants to bless us; he wants us to live with joy without lack of anything good.

It is my desire that the Lord Jesus, touch your hearts and you can enjoy the recovery of God's blessing, from now and forever.

Until a next entry.
