1>Being close to God is a blessing to me. <Summary><Si73:22-28>2026.7.12.<week> Pastor Ho-il Kim of Osaka's beloved church.God chose the people of Israel, the descendants of Abraham, guided and blessed them. But God came to this land as Jesus, and they crucified him and killed him. So now he has chosen a stranger, but he only wants to bless and love those who believe, and take them to heaven. Therefore, we have to believe in God, who blessed Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Israel. The Bible details that you have to believe in God like this to enter heaven with blessings. If you look at the words of today's text, you are confessing that being close to God is a blessing to me. The blessings here mean that entering heaven with salvation, material blessings, health blessings, descendants are successful, and that the hearts are full of joy and happiness. We have to be close to God to receive this blessing. When we are close to God, he also comes close to us. Therefore, it is more important than anything else to be close to God. 1>When God is with you, the dreams given by God come true. Jacob was a man who desperately wanted to be blessed. God promised Jacob in his dream that he would not leave you until he fulfilled all the promises I made to you. But just because we have been blessed through dreams or prophecies does not mean that everything will come true unconditionally. God must be with us without leaving. Therefore, we must live a life of faith and repentance so that God does not leave. When God leaves, nothing will be done. Joseph feared God to be with him. With the belief that God is always watching, he repented and lived faithfully without sin. Sin draws us apart from God. Therefore, if you do not repent, God will leave. Joseph suffered a lot and was unjustly imprisoned, but because he lived a life with God until the end, he was recognized as a person with God and became a prime minister in other countries. However, King Saul was called by God as a king. He did not suffer like Joseph. So, without awe of God, he became easily arrogant and disobedient to God. Because King Saul left God, God also abandoned Saul. As a result, all the king's dreams collapsed and he was killed miserably during the war. I tried to keep the king's place, but I lost everything because God was not with me. Therefore, you must live a life accompanied by God to be blessed and keep the blessing. 2>Blessed if God is with you. David wanted to become a king and bring the ark of God's law, where God resides, to David's castle. However, while moving the ark, Utsa, who had been holding it with his hands to prevent it from shaking and falling, was killed. Then, David was afraid and entrusted the ark to Obedom's house. Obedom was blessed three months later as a result of faithfully serving the ark. Even though Obedom was blessed, he volunteered to become a gatekeeper who obeyed the ark of God. 3>When God is with you, everything is prosperous. With God together, Joseph is blessed wit
