Working for the Kingdom of God

The blessings of God are all around us and sometimes we are shown them in a very tangible way. Other times we don't fully understand the blessings or only see a small part of it until God reveals more to us.

I do some work for a church near to where I live and help them out with a few things and have been in contact with them for a few years now. This is not my home church but I am glad to offer my services to any who are looking to further the kingdom of God. One evening a friend from the church popped around and presented me with a gift of money for the work I have been doing. This was completely unexpected and I was amazed. This was a couple of months before Christmas so the money would certainly have come in handy.

After a while I thought of all the good things I could do with the gift, however I had a nagging doubt in the back of my mind that this gift would benefit the church it had come from more than it would benefit me. I decided to send the gift back to the church with thanks for the kind offer they had made. This was on a Friday evening.

When I arrived at work on the following Monday I was told that my company would be announcing the employee of the quarter awards, that afternoon, and the prize for first place was a monetary gift of the same amount that the church had offered me. I felt an excitement in my spirit because I knew the amount of the prize was the same as the gift I had returned and felt that I would win, which I did! The excitement I felt wasn't for the money, although I was glad to receive it from work, it was because I could see the tangible blessings of God.

The blessings of God are all around us and sometimes we are shown them in a very tangible way. Other times we don't fully understand the blessings or only see a small part of it until God reveals more to us. 

Psalm 31:19 says ‘How abundant are the good things that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you bestow in the sight of all, on those who take refuge in you’.
