good name

Proverbs (NRSV)
22:1 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.
22:2 The rich and the poor have this in common: the Lord is the maker of them all.
22:4 The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.
22:9 Those who are generous are blessed, for they share their bread with the poor.
22:11 Those who love a pure heart and are gracious in speech will have the King as a friend.
22:12 The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge, but He overthrows the words of the faithless.

A good name in the eyes of the Lord is all you need in life. Everything else will fall into place.

blessed nations

Genesis 12

1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

The U.S is the number one supporter of Israel and according to this scripture, we are blessed because of that. The countries that bless Israel are blessed.
