Blessings

I woke up with a strong word spinning in my head - the word "blessings".

Are we to seek after God's blessings? to pray earnestly that God will blessed us in our work,
family, and financially, and that this blessing is unmerited and not dependent for what we
have done and will do for God. ie this blessing is by Grace alone.

(Gen 27:27 NKJV) And he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him and said: "Surely, the smell of my son Is like the smell of a field Which the LORD has blessed.
(Gen 27:28 NKJV) Therefore may God give you Of the dew of heaven, Of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of grain and wine.
(Gen 27:29 NKJV) Let peoples serve you, And nations bow down to you. Be master over your brethren, And let your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, And blessed be those who bless you!"

I am not that well off, so it would be a great blessing if just like Jacob obtained from Isaac I can be blessed by

a) Dew of heaven - Blessings from heaven itself - the best of heaven's offering - It is like the morning dew, it just comes and falls down from heaven at night - it is underserved, unmerited and by God's grace alone. The dew brings a "new thing", a sense of freshness in the air, a new move of God, a calmness in the air/ a stillness in the early morning. Dew is formed in the presence of a thick mist, a covering of moisture, a deep presence of God that brings preace, calmness, a time of refreshing and rest. It is dwelling with God in the midst of His heavenly presence resting on us, upon our hearts.

b) Fatness of Earth - prosper in my harvest ie in my workplace, and in ministry of what I have sowed in.

c) Plenty of grain and wine - have more than enough to live comfortably - financially secured to take care of myself.

Be Blessed by God's grace.
