Bible verses about blessings from God will give you peace, joy and fulfillment. These blessings speak to each Christ-follower as they travel the hills and valleys of this earthbound life.
And, while we could speak
of "common blessings" available to everyone on earth whether they are a Christian or not, for example, air to breathe, these Bible verses speak about "special blessings" to those who are called to follow Jesus.
Each blessing gives comfort, solace and hope as we await the arrival of the Second Coming of Jesus
Christ who will judge the quick and the dead. For all Christ-followers, we know that the ultimate and
unmistakable blessing of God will be our entrance into eternal life.
And, unless we are selfish by thinking that God's blessings are for our benefit only nothing could be further from what Jesus expects of us all. That is to say that Jesus expects that when we obey the second greatest commandment,
which is to love they neighbour as thyself, we shall not and will not preclude sharing our God-given blessings with those around us, especially our brothers and sisters in Christ. It is the extension, giving and sharing of God's
blessings that demonstrate that we are true believers and followers of Jesus Christ. It is important to remember that our actions are stronger than our words so let us reach out and bless others with the abundance that God has bestowed on us.
The words of James, in his epistle, confirm what God has given to us when he said, "Whatever is
good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father," James 1: 17 (NLT).
The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26 (NIV)

2 Corinthians 9:8 (NIV)
God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you’re ready for anything and everything, more than just ready to do what needs to be done. As one psalmist puts it, He throws caution to the winds, giving to the needy in reckless abandon. His right-living, right-giving ways never run out, never wear out. This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God, wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God.

country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your
livestock-the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. Your basket and your kneading trough
will be blessed.

Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And
how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?
Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?"
