Why do Christians say we bless God when ask a question like ,how was your day and other greetings.Do we actually have authority as Christians to bless God, or is it a slang for most Christians?Is it right for us to say that? |

.My thesis is that in the Scripture when God "blesses" men they are thereby helped and strengthened and made better off than they were before, but when men "bless" God he is not helped or strengthened or made better off. Rather man's blessing God is an "expression of praising Thankfulness" Deuteronomy 8:10 And you shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. Here "bless" is virtually identical to "thank" or "gratefully recognize as the giver of blessing." 1 Like |

doris4u:This is why we bless the Lord. Amplified Bible Psalm 103:1-5. Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name! Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits— Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases, Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy; Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle’s [strong, overcoming, soaring]! 1 Like |

In reality, no man can bless God. therefore, using that statement on their part could mean glorifiying and praising his name. psalm 72:18,19. 1 Like |
