We need to be prepared to receive blessing, whether it be spiritual or material. Let’s say we give a 5 year old £1000000. How long will it take before that money is squandered, given away rashly or lost? The child does not have the character or the training at that age to handle so much. Give that same money to a 50 year old who has spent his life learning and practicing diligence with what he has and the money will be well used and should increase.
God does not give us more that we can handle and that is a blessing in itself. He says He does not test us beyond our capabilities. Great blessing is in itself a test. The test is to remain true to who we are in Him, to other people and to ourselves in the middle of great favour.
May we thrive in all we do and increase in favour just like Jesus, going from glory to glory into the fullness of our destinies so our lives would glorify Jesus without restraint!
