Who Is A Really Blessed Person?

Just take a look around you😎; the places where you live, work and gather. It’s amazing to see couples, families, neighbours doing good and living a great lifestyle, going about with their own work.

They have everything they need — food, clothing, shelter, vehicles, money, property etc etc. Each of them busy in their own worlds, and yet feel responsible to take out time for their loved ones.

To sum up, God has blessed them all richly —physically and materially as well. Well, everyone wants to be blessed isn’t it? Who would want to live a below average lifestyle? Ask a poor man, he would also assuredly place his desire of living a great life🙂 Well!! of course, there is nothing wrong with any of this.

We also see the riches and wealth of Abraham, Issac and Jacob in the Bible. They were wealthy men during their times. God had blessed them greatly. Inspite of their abundance they still chose to live a life of faith.
