The High Places of Blessing

How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him.

Ephesians 1:3 - MSG

God has already poured out every spiritual blessing upon us that we need to live a life of faith. He has lifted us to the high places of blessing. Every spiritual  blessing is ours given by the hand of God, our Father Who loves us.

These blessings are our present reality. They are not tied to our circumstances, nor our bank accounts, nor to the approval of others. No, these blessings are the eternal riches of salvation, adoption, redemption, forgiveness, holiness, and belonging. A genuine sense of belonging to the Lord as His children.

These spiritual gifts, these precious blessings, are secured for us, where we truly live, in the heavenly realm where Christ reigns. And because we are “in Christ,” the blessings are already ours. Not someday. Not when we feel worthy. Not when life settles down. Not when circumstances change, but now.

To live “in Christ,” in these “High Places,” is to live in a place of abundance rather than lack. It means that every step we take as we sojourn on this earth is supported by a reality that cannot be shaken. When we feel overlooked, God whispers, You are chosen. When we feel uncertain, He reminds us, You are adopted into My family. When shame tries to cling to us, He declares, You are redeemed and forgiven. These are not promises we are waiting to receive—they are blessings already spoken over us, already secured for us, already alive within us. This is what living in the high places of blessing is all about. It’s knowing that everything we need to live a victorious Christian life is already ours.

In this place, we don’t measure our lives by what we see. By faith, not sight, we measure our lives by what is eternally true, by the Truth. Instead of asking God for earthly comfort first, we begin by praising Him for the spiritual riches He has already given us. Our worship  becomes richer, deeper. An attitude of gratitude replaces the worries of this life, and our hearts rise up into the high places where Christ is seated, reminding us that we are held, loved, and strengthened by His grace.

Today, let your spirit breathe in this truth: you are not spiritually empty, waiting for God to notice you. You are spiritually full, blessed beyond measure, because you are in Christ. Every blessing you need for this moment—courage, wisdom, peace, strength—has already been placed in your hands through Him. Lift your eyes. Lift your praise. You are standing in the high places of blessing.

Prayer
Father, thank You for blessing me with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Lift my eyes above what I feel and help me rest in what is eternally true. Teach me to walk in the fullness of my identity—chosen, adopted, redeemed, and deeply loved. Let my heart rise into the high places where Christ reigns and let my life reflect the grace You have already poured out.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen…
