Thanks for the breakdown and lesson, Gregg. Good stuff! Happy Tuesday! :o)
ReplyDelete"Bless" has always been such a confusing word to me...people here in the south say "Bless the food" or "Say the blessing." And it really doesn't make sense to me for them to say that in a biblical context. To me, I've always looked at God's blessings as spiritual blessings...even the fiery trials are blessings.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a very well informed post Gregg.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day.

Well, bless your heart, Gregg. In Tennessee, that phrase can mean, "May God deal graciously with you!" or "Oh my! What a pitiable creature!" Of course, I mean it here in the former sense. :-)
ReplyDeleteEphesians 1:3-6 tells us God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.
ReplyDeleteBlessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
