Spiritual Blessings

Eph. 1:3
 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Often, at the end of a written communication, the salutation of the writer ends their writing with, “God bless you.” To be blessed by God is to have the favor of God and His good will. Many view the blessing of God as the material possessions that they have been given, or the good health they may have. It is true that every good thing comes from the Father above. James writes, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” We are to be thankful for these gifts that are given to us. But, the abundance of material health does not indicate God’s favor or blessing. The most important blessings that are given to us are spiritual blessings.  The blessing that comes to us from the Father through Christ. The forgiveness of sin, being free from guilt of sin, the peace that passes understanding, and the unfailing love of God. The Spiritual blessings are not of this world and are not seen by those who are spiritually blind. This is why a person who has lost everything this world has to offer can say, “God is good, and He is blessing me.” Our blessings transcend the treasures of this world, for our treasure is set on things above in heavenly places. So, even when life is difficult, and you don't see God working, He is there, and His spiritual blessings are all around us.
