[About Bible Readingfor the Hungry]
OT
128:1 How happy are those who fear the LORD– all who follow his ways!
NT
7:12 They said, ‘Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength belong to our God forever and forever. Amen!’
9:7-9 The locusts looked like horses armed for battle. They had gold crowns on their heads, and they had human faces. Their hair was long like the hair of a woman, and their teeth were like the teeth of a lion. They wore armor made of iron, and their wings roared like an army of chariots rushing into battle.

Sounds familiar
Human nature has always been the same
The cure has always been the same too
NOTE: The one through whom God blesses is hardly ever conscious of it
If they are, they probably just blessed themselves
