BUILDING BLOCKS TO BLESSINGS
TEXT: PSALM 32:1-5
MEMORY VERSE: “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered” (PSALM 32:1).
The Irish-born British statesman and political philosopher, Edmund Burke (1729 – 1797) in Reflections on the Revolution in France, said: “Good order is the foundation of all good things”. Contrition and genuine repentance is the foundation of a concrete relationship with God. Literally, the foundation is the building system component that interfaces the building structure with the ground, which provides the proper support to keep the structure. Consistently abiding in the presence of God through regular purging and prayer ensures daily building of relationship with God.
For Joshua and all Israel to remain in the blessing of God, there must be daily meditation on the word of God and doing it (Joshua 1:8). A boy whose house was spared while others were burgled by thieves had this to say, “I never missed my quiet time”. How solid is your relationship with God? You can begin today through searching of your heart with the word of God, confessing your sins and accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour. Becoming a child of God brings breakthroughs.
