It’s my desire and delight to declare God’s blessings upon your life for the month of July 2025! May you be dearly and divinely blessed by “YAHWEH, QEDOSHECHEM, BORE’ YISRAEL, MALKECHEM (“The LORD, your HOLY ONE, the CREATOR of ISRAEL, your KING” [Isaiah 43:15; NASB]). May you daily embrace and enjoy “grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 1:2; NASB)! May you never forget to extol and exult in the One who blesses you with His dear and divine blessings: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 1:3a; NASB)! May you revel and rejoice in the blessings of God upon your life! For He has blessed you, the believer in Jesus, “with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 1:3b; ESV)! His spiritual blessing upon your life also includes His choice of you in Christ before the foundation of the world, that you should be holy and blameless (Ephesians 1:4). What an awesome blessing He has bestowed upon you and upon me! Left to us, we would have never come up with such a great and glorious goal for our lives! O may the Lord our God be blessed forever and ever for choosing such a high and holy goal for our lives! May the Holy Spirit refresh your heart with the divine blessing, that is; it’s in agape love that God “predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will” (Ephesians 1:4b-5; ESV)! May the Spirit of God seal and settle in your heart of hearts that the ultimate goal of God for blessing you in His Beloved Son is for the praise of His glorious grace (Ephesians 1:6)! May the Spirit remind you of the spiritual blessing that you have redemption through the Blood of Christ – resulting in the forgiveness of your trespasses, according to the riches of His grace (Ephesians 1:7)! May you revel in the riches of His grace which “[He] lavished upon [you], in all wisdom and insight” (Ephesians 1:8; ESV)! May you rejoice in the dear and divine blessing bestowed upon you; that is, God’s sovereign choice of “making known to [you] the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ” (Ephesians 1:9; ESV)! May you rest assured that at “the fullness of the times, [God will sum] up all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth” (Ephesians 1:10; NASB)! Yes, may you be dearly and divinely blessed by “YAHWEH, QEDOSHECHEM, BORE’ YISRAEL, MALKECHEM” (The LORD, your HOLY ONE, the CREATOR of ISRAEL”) [Isaiah 43:15; NASB], in the month of July 2025 and beyond! “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 1:3a; NASB).
