Midweek Devotional: The Blessing of Being a Blessing
Scripture Reading: Genesis 37–50
Envy has a way of turning our hearts toward comparison instead of love. When we focus on what others have, relationships become transactional. We begin to ask, “What am I missing?” rather than “How can I love?”
We see the damage of this in Joseph’s family, where jealousy nearly destroys their relationships. But through Joseph’s life, God shows a different way. Even in hardship, God’s blessing on Joseph brought good to others and ultimately saved many lives (Genesis 50:20).
This reminds us that true blessing is not about getting more. It is about becoming someone through whom God brings hope, help, and life to others.
Today, ask yourself:
Where might comparison be stealing your peace?
How is God inviting you to be a blessing to someone else?
See you Sunday.
