What does it mean to be blessed by God? Is it material possessions? Good health? Great influence? What if none of those things are, in and of themselves, markers of God’s blessing? God’s blessing has much more to do with His faithfulness to us and to His covenant with His people, than it does these outward markers. The blessing of God is marked less by what he gives us and more by how he draws us. Central to that purpose is his patience, goodness, and relentless pursuit of us. In that pursuit, there are times that our greatest blessings can be found in our deepest hour of need.
