How to Receive and Keep Your Blessings
by Dr. Frederick Drummond, Sr.
from 1 Chronicles 29:2-19
David dared to dream the dreams of God. He made God’s heart his own and became willing to put Him and His plans and purposes first at great personal cost to himself. Through it all he remained loyal on every level. Thus he was raised up by God. It took a lifetime to get him to the place where the revelation of it all could be received and passed on to the next generation. His willingness qualified him to receive and keep his blessings.
