Genesis 12:1-4a
Blessings are anticipatory and unsettling.
Too often we presume blessings are our due, that we are entitled to them. Blessings in this sense are confirmations of the status quo. Blessings, like manna, will spoil if they are contained in the here and now, stored up.
Blessings are risky propositions only known in retrospect.
Too often we presume blessings are what we are after and they bring safety and security. Blessings in this sense are denials of even more blessings to come. Blessings like to be free and ring false when focused on too closely or turned into sureties. They are part of the background of abundance and fade in the light of day.
