Blessed But Not Blinded: How To Steward God's Gifts Well

Have you ever received something you prayed for, only to become so focused on the gift that you forgot the Giver?In this episode, Amber explores the vital importance of maintaining the right heart posture through seasons of blessing by staying grateful and grounded. Drawing from the lives of Joseph, Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar, and Solomon, she shows how easily blessings can pull our focus away from God, and the real risk of losing them when we forget Who they come from.She shares practical truths to help us steward God’s gifts well and keep Jesus at the center. “He must become greater; I must become less” (John 3:30) is the posture that moves us from “blessed but blinded” to a life of awe, gratitude, and radical dependence on Him—not because we are less valued or less loved, but by becoming less self-focused and more in awe of the Giver.This episode will help you learn how to walk in blessing without drifting from the One who gives it.Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGoodGetsBetterScripture referenced in order of appearance:James 4:13-16; Proverbs 16:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:18; James 1:16-17; Matthew 22:36-37; Daniel 2:27-28; Deuteronomy 8:10:18; Proverbs 16:18; Daniel 4:29-34; Matthew 18:3-4; Mark 10:14-15; John 15:5; Ecclesiastes 7:14; Ecclesiastes 12:13; Revelation 3:17; Luke 12:21; John 3:27; John 3:30Chapters:00:00 - Intro00:42 - Joseph: The Big Picture Example03:21 - Remember Who Designed Your Story09:47 - Remember Who Gives You Success15:57 - You Were Designed To Be Dependent19:53 - Everything Without God = Nothing23:45 - How To Live This Out26:44 - Prayer27:57 - Outro
