1 Chronicles 29:20 And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the Lord your God. and all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the Lord, and the king.
When all the preparations had been made for the building of the temple, the coming of God to dwell among His people, David and the congregation blessed the Lord. The Lord is the big blesser. He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. The spiritual and physical blessings we have received from God are actually much more than we can appreciate or can even be aware of. It strains our mind to even count our blessings, for they are too numerous to mention.
God blesses us, not because we are good, but because He is good. He even comes to dwell in our hearts and bodies, as a temple. We receive and enjoy His blessings, many of which are eternal. We respond by blessing the Lord. How can we bless the God who has everything and gives every blessing? To bless is to say good things about and do good things to someone. To bless is to make others feel better. We can’t make God feel better than He already is, but we feel better for giving a blessing.
We respond to the blessing and the presence of God in our life with worship, prayer, singing, praise, thanks. We spend our lives blessing the Lord. The more we respond in faith, the more we bless God, and the more thankful we are, the better our life is. When blessing is mutual everyone benefits.
