Channels, Not Reservoirs

I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies, and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice. (Genesis 22:17-18 ESV)

God answers our prayer so that we can be channels of blessings to others. God does not bless us to be a reservoir of His blessings. His name cannot be glorified by our hoarding of His blessings.

Freely you have received; freely give. (Matthew 10:8 NIV)
