The Blessing Book Daily Devotional
By Rev. Amos L. Lewis
This book will help you develop a blessed mind set. As you read the passages this book contains, a clear pattern will emerge. You will see that the God of both the Old and New Testaments has always taken pleasure in blessing His people. Far too long religion has taught people that God is this comic kill joy who doesn't want to see us happy. Often time people are afraid to ask God for what they need or want for fear that He will say no. However, the Bible teaches that God is more than willing to bestow His blessings on us when we live according to His principles (Matt 7:7-11). In fact, all good blessings come from the Hand of God (James 1:17). You will see that the God of both the Old and New Testaments has always taken pleasure in blessing His people.
