Downoloaded this software called "e-sword" today, my cousin told me about it. It's a software that helps u to serach the Bible. acatully, it got tons of feautres, eg. power search, commentaries, dictionary, map, all kinds of things.
it's amazing the number of times the word "bless" appeared in the old and new testaments. It happens to appear more in the old than in the new. it acatulyl only appeared 8 times in the new testament. Why is that? People did not want to be blessed in the new testament? No, it's because we are blessed already! The Lord has blessed us and have sent His only son to be with us. In Matthew 28, verse 19-20, it says: " Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with your always, to the very end of the age." The Lord has already told us He is gonna be with us "always, to the very end of the age." The disciples know that and so the word "blessed" is less said in the new testament. However, peopel in today's world do not really pick this up. We always say "God bless, may the Lord bless you... etc." We WANT the Lord to bless us, but the thing is the Lord has blessed us ALREADY. Our attitude should not be "o, Lord, please bless me, bless the people... " but should be " O Lord, thank you for blessing me/us, how should I/we repay you?" Do not be discourage by what you are facing, because you are blessed by the Lord. You cannot see the big picture of what the Lord has planned for you, why bothered by this tiny obstacle and lose faith but rather u shold think about how you can repay the Lord?
