The World Notices
Today’s Reading: 2 Chronicles 9:1-8
Focal Verses: 2 Chronicles 9:1,8
Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with hard questions, having a very great retinue, camels that bore spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was in her heart.
-and-
“Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, setting you on His throne to be king for the LORD your God! Because your God has loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”
Blessings come in many ways. Sometimes it’s faith, sometimes wealth, sometimes wisdom, and the list goes on. One thing is certain, though; when God in His grace blesses a person or a nation, the world notices.
If God’s grace has blessed you in some way, you will be noticed and it will draw others to you. In Matthew 5:14, Jesus spoke these words: “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.” He was talking about you, as a believer. As the grace God has shown us draws people to us, we are to point them to the Grace-Giver. Then, as the queen of Sheba expressed, there is no question to the world where your blessings come from.
Are you pointing others to the Grace-Giver?
