Let me tell you how you know you've been blessed.

When external is falling apart and internal is doing fine.

Dr. Tony Evans says that kind of peace comes from staying rooted in the truth.

Regardless of the bleakness or barrenness, there will be a continuous source of life.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings

from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans. If being blessed just meant having more stuff, then every

wealthy person would be walking in joy and peace. But we know that's not always the case. Today, Dr. Evans

looks at what the Bible really means by blessing and explains how delighting in God's word

can unlock a deeper, lasting joy that doesn't depend on your circumstances. Let's listen

as it gets started. Today, I want to look at a benefit that everybody would want.

That is the benefit of spiritual blessing.

Scripture brings spiritual blessing.

Turn your Bible to Psalm chapter 1.

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,

nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord. And in his law, he meditates day and night.

And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit and its season, and its leaf does not wither.

And whatever he does, he prospers.

Who here today wants to be blessed?

Anybody?

If your hand didn't go up, something wrong with you?

Everybody wants to be blessed.
