What are some things that effectively keep people from being blessed happy content and fulfilled?

Answer 1

The first requirement to be blessed etc., is to be close to God. God loves to bless us but he won't unless we are close to him. This is the number one reason people are not blesed. They want to have a relationship with God their way but God has a plan for us to be close to Him through the person of his Son, Jesus. This is the only way to be close to God. I think we need to learn to be content. So often we hear complaining around us and we fall into this trap ourselves. God hates complaining and won't bless us if we do. How do you keep from complaining? By learning to be thankful and content in every situation until God changes it. If we are complaining we may have to wait a long time for the situation to change. Just look at the Israelites, spent forty years in the desert because they complained. How can we be fulfilled? By seeking to do God's will in our lives. The closer we are to Him the more fulfilled we will be. He will bless us by helping us with our heart's desires, Psalm 37 tells us. So there are three things you can work on if you want to be blessed, content and fulfilled. Chaplain Dan
