Along with this first picture comes a second biblical word picture. 4 Literally, it’s a picture of adding coins to a scale. In biblical times, you didn’t just hand someone a coin with a specific denomination stamped on it as we do today. In Old Testament times, a coin might carry an inscription or even a picture of a ruler or someone of great value. But the way you determined how much it was worth was to put it on a scale. The greater the weight, the higher the value. Let’s put those two pictures together now to gain a sharper focus on what it means to bless someone.

However, in studying the blessing in the Scriptures, we found that its principles can be used in any intimate relationship. Husbands can apply these principles in blessing their wives, and wives their husbands. Friendships can be deepened and strengthened by including each element of the blessing. These key ingredients, when applied in a church family, can bring warmth, healing, and hope to our brothers and sisters in Christ, many who never received an earthly blessing from their parents.
