Immersed in the Blessing pt1—The Blessing on You

[Gen 1:26-28 NASB95] 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

For the next 21 Days and beyond, we will immerse ourselves in the blessing.

What is the blessing? In short, the blessing of God was the first thing to happen to humanity. It is the original state of humanity. We will see it passed down to Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and beyond.

Paul talked about the blessing in Galatians 3:13-14.

We see God’s original intent for humanity in Genesis 1. The blessing on you is still God’s intent today.
