Show me a sign of your favor, so that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me. Psalm 86:17
Is it proper to seek God’s blessings in our lives?
There are some who don’t believe we should, that we should simply take whatever comes along and be satisfied with it. Of course, the real question goes to our motives for seeking God’s blessing.
What motivates us to seek God’s blessings?
Is it simply to acquire material things?
Is it because we need better health?
The Psalmist prays for a “sign” (which would indicate some outward manifestation, perhaps better health, material things, etc) but he tells us that his motive is not simply a selfish desire for more, rather it is in order that God be glorified.
