Theme For Joyce Meyer Devotional November 17 2020 – Be a Blessing Dispenser
The dictionary defines the word dispense this way: “to deal or divide out in parts or portions; to distribute”.
The love of God is in us because God puts His love in our hearts when we accept Jesus as our Savior, but it needs to be dispensed through us in order for it to help anyone else. In Genesis 12:2, God told Abraham He would bless him and make him a person who dispensed blessings everywhere he went.
When I read that story, I’m reminded of a bottle of hand lotion I have, one that has a pump on it. When I press the pump, it dispenses hand lotion—the stuff it’s full of. That’s the way we can be with blessings. When people come near us, let’s determine to dispense something good—something that will benefit them—out of the store of grace and blessings God has placed in us.
Prayer Starter: Father, thank You for filling me with Your grace and blessings, so I can be someone who dispenses those things to the people around me. Help me see and seize opportunities to love people today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
