PRAYER CORNER "GIVING UP IS NOT AN OPTION" DAY 8

BLESSED ON PURPOSE Ruth 2:16---And let fall also some of the handfuls of grain fall on purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.

Have you ever considered that God blessed you on purpose?  God is not blind to the seeds you have sown throughout your life.  He has seen you take from what you have and bless others. He has taken notice of the times you sacrificed what you needed to help someone else.  God has not been surprised by the times you were exhausted but pushed forward anyway.  In the book of Ruth, Boaz asked the harvesters to leave grain for Ruth intentionally. The reapers were instructed to pull heads of barley from their bundles and drop them on purpose for Ruth. Boaz knew Ruth's story. She had left everything and everybody to remain with her mother-in-law Naomi.  He wanted to ensure they had enough.  In like fashion, God has touched the hearts of men to bless you on purpose.  You have remained faithful and lost many things along the way.  But God has seen everything you have done for others and everything you have lost.  Now it is your turn to receive the blessings that God has deliberately dropped for you.  Each blessing is a part of the harvest from the seeds you have sown in the lives of others.  It is now time for you to reap from the harvest of being blessed on purpose. Refection:  Define your purpose and how God has blessed you toward its fulfillment. Impartation:  Meditation: Ephesians 1:11-12 (NIV)  In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will in order that we, who were first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of His glory. Communication:  Heavenly Father, thank you for every blessing you have bestowed upon me. Thank you for the seeds others have sown into my life.  I pray that, as others bless me, you will continue to use me to be a blessing.  Amen.
