In English, blessing sounds like something positive. Good health. Financial provision. A smooth season. But in the Hebrew Bible, the word barak is used. Barak does not begin with receiving. It begins with bending the knee. Before blessing is something you get, it is a posture you take. This changes how older believers read familiar promises. Blessing is not proof that life is easy. It is a sign that someone has learned humility before God. Barak reminds us that blessing is not measured by comfort, but by relationship. #BibleStudy #HebrewWord #Blessing #BiblicalMeaning #ChristianUnderstanding
