Every spiritual blessing

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, - Ephesians 1.3

This is another one of those ‘wow!’ verses. It is easy to just kind of read over it and fly by it without seeing what it is really saying. But it deserves so much more than that. 

Blessed be God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God deserves our praise. His name is blessed and we are to praise and honour and glorify and indeed bless Him for who He is. 

He doesn’t have to do anything to earn our blessing – but He does. He has already blessed us. And oh how. He has blessed us. 

He has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing. Every spiritual blessing. 

We may not every material 'blessing' because far to often those things can be anything but a blessing. All that 'stuff' can too often be a hindrance. 

But God blesses us with all the spiritual blessings. He gives us salvation. He gives us justification. He gives us positional sanctification. He gives us holiness. He gives us eternal life. He gives us adoption into his family. He gives us an inheritance that cannot fade away. 

The reason we have a hard time seeing these blessings is because they are the eternal things that the Bible calls 'the invisible things of this world.' We tend to focus on the visible and temporal things. 

God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing. Let's live as fully blessed saints no matter what the world sends our way.
