Our blessings have already been given.
They differ from the Promises God. His promises or covenants were made to specific groups, at certain times and usually involved a sacrifice. Some Promises were for all mankind and others were to Nations or individuals. His promises were guaranteed by His own eternal Law and Being.
But throughout the Word Blessings were given to individuals. They went beyond the scope of the Promises because they were tailored to each receivers specific situation and need. The Hebrew BARAK/ blessing means being strengthen and our weakness being compensated for with God's strength.
Many times we reduce blessings to a wish list we want God to fill rather than the larger understanding that the blessings bring our knowledge of Him into sharper view. A blessing from God is empowerment to be able to do what is not within our natural abilities.
Maybe like finger prints or the life line in our hands our individual blessing have been planned before Time. He knows the path and footsteps of our way and our unique blessings come at the time of need.
Blesses is the King who come in the name of the Lord -Luke 19:38
