New Beginnings, Day 9

The overwhelming blessing. Read Genesis chapter 9.

As Noah and his family ended up back on dry land, God blessed them. I imagine that this blessing felt incredibly overwhelming to Noah and his family. As the only surviving human beings on the Earth, God’s blessing and command to them was to fill the Earth with people.

This must have seemed like an impossible task, yet so often that is exactly how God blesses us. He shares with us a vision that is so much bigger than anything we could have ever hoped to accomplish on our own. God knows that in order for us to truly experience his blessing is by allowing him to do the work through us. That is the only way we can see God’s blessing in our life. The goal has to be bigger than we could ever imagine, otherwise it’s not a God-sized goal. Are we seeking out God’s blessing, and are we doing even more than we could have ever imagined ourselves? Is the goal and purpose for our new beginning a God-size goal?
