A quick Google search will tell you that the definition of “blessing” is to be made holy; consecrated. Looking at the word in Hebrew will reveal how we get there: it speaks of a bending at the knee in order to drink water, or to present a gift. The bending at the knee speaks of a humility to receive from God (ref 2 Chron 6:13); while the water is symbolic of the word of God that has the ability to sanctify and cleanse our souls (ref Eph 5:26).

The real gift, or blessing, is the ability to understand God’s Word and who He is, which brings a deeper connection with God. We are blessed when the Father reveals Himself to us.

Good Eye

What does it mean to have good eyes in the spirit?

When you were growing up, you may have discovered that you needed glasses because you were having trouble seeing. When you see the scriptures mention blindness, or the inability to see, it is referencing something spiritual and not literal.

Jesus explains that those who cannot perceive the mysteries of the kingdom, cannot truly understand the character of God (ref Matt 13:10;17). To have eyes that work, or eyes that are good, means that you are able to understand the mysteries of scripture.

Do you have a good or bad eye?

Rain

Did you know that even rain has a symbolic meaning?

“Let my teaching drop as the rain, My speech distill as the dew, As raindrops on the tender herb, And as showers on the grass” (Deuteronomy 32:2).

In Deuteronomy, Moses compares the rain to the teaching or doctrine of God. When we see this mentioned in scripture, we know that it is like the revelation (unveiling of God’s word) coming from the heavens. Rain water, unlike tap water, has nutrients that help vegetation grow. So, if we are to bear the fruits of the spirit, we need the rain (revelation of the word), in order for the fruit within us to grow to maturity.
