If you have or want to have a family and want God’s blessings to be upon it, I invite you to read and meditate on this article.
By the way, it’s important to note that God has always aimed to bless families and not just individuals.
See that he not only saved Noah from the flood, but also his entire family.
When he wanted to take Lot out of Sodom to destroy it with fire, in the same way he wanted to save his wife, his sons-in-law (although they did not cooperate) and his two daughters.
This is God’s desire for us and our families, but there are simple truths contained that you need to know so that you and your family members can truly be blessed.
That’s why I recommend that you read these 51 bible verses about blessings of family to the end and live everything you learn here.
What does the Bible say about Blessings of Family?
We saw in Genesis 12:1-3 that, in God’s plan, the family is a blessing. The Lord said that he would bless Abraham and his offspring (family) and that through the patriarch’s family all other families on earth would be blessed.
It is interesting to note that, in the Bible, whenever God blesses someone, he also blesses his family. We see this in the life of Potiphar, captain of Pharaoh’s guard:
“Since he made him a steward over his house and over all his goods, the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had, both in the house and in the field” (Genesis 39:5).
We also see the same with the midwives who, out of fear of God, disobeyed the Pharaoh’s order to throw the newborn male Hebrews into the Nile:
“And it came to pass, as the midwives feared God, that he established their houses” (Exodus 1:21).
The Scriptures also emphasize this about Obed-edom:
“And the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Githia three months, and the Lord blessed him and all his house” (2 Samuel 6:12).
There is an evident relationship between divine blessings and the family. God not only blesses the family, but also sees the family itself as a blessing offered to men. A united family, guided by God, is a great blessing!
