The Responsibility of Blessing

JEFF TURNER

Every blessing carries responsibility. When God shows us special favor, it’s not just for our enjoyment – it’s for His purpose. Think of it like being trusted with a valuable gift: the more precious the gift, the more careful we should be with it.

God’s blessings shouldn’t make us complacent; they should make us more mindful of our calling to be channels of His goodness to others. The more we receive, the more we’re expected to give. This isn’t about guilt; it’s about understanding the true purpose of blessing in God’s economy.

Consider, Luke 12:48 says, “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.”
