Blessings over Israel
And I will bless those who bless you,
and the one who curses you I will curse.
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.

I sometimes surggtle with how to balance waiting on God and my own responsibility. God created us with brains and He expects us to use them! Yet there are times when I know I can take care of a situation but, wonder, what would God want me to do? Then I wait.
As believers we should always seek his council in our daily lives. Blessings to you.
