People often mistake blessings as accumulating money, success, fame, and power. What these people miss is true blessings are those that bring us closer to God. The above mentioned things only separate us from God, because they take our focus off Him, and place it on ourselves. Having sight and hearing that is able to discern truth in a world of lies is the real blessing. We need to ask God for spiritual sight, and the ability to truly listen. Then we can decipher truth from falsehood. And no amount of money, fame, or power can earn that.
