Before Asking Too Many Blessings

[S] Psalm 67:1-3 --
   ¹God be gracious to us and bless us,
         And cause His face to shine upon us-- Selah.
    ²That Your way may be known on the earth,
         Your salvation among all nations.
    ³Let the peoples praise You, O God;
         Let all the peoples praise You.

[O] I like to ask for His blessings and grace to be poured into my life.  But how would I know if He answered my prayer and did just that?  I see the answers in this passage where if God's blessed me then His face will shine on me, His way will be known, His salvation will be evident, people will praise Him.  So, this is a cause and effect situation here and as I examine how God's blessing is reflected on my life, I will be even more blessed because that will be a confirmation of His blessings.

[A] Look around my surrounding and observe how God is blessing me by seeing the results of His blessings in my life.  If I don't see any or much, then I need to return to the foot of the Cross and re-connect my faith to the love of God for me.

[P] Dear God, instead of keep asking You to bless me, I will be more sensitive to the result from you blessings in my life.  And if I don't see them then I will re-examine my life and faith toward You. In Jesus' name.  Amen.
