How do we know God's blessings are for His people?

Answered in 4 sources

God's blessings are specifically declared for His covenant people, as shown in the priestly blessing of Numbers 6.

In Numbers 6:22-27, God commands Aaron to bless His people, indicating that His blessings are reserved for the sons and daughters of Abraham—His covenant people. This blessing includes God's promise of keeping them, shining His face upon them, and granting them peace. This assurance reflects God's fidelity to His promises throughout Scripture, especially as His blessings flow through Jesus Christ, who fulfills all righteousness on behalf of His elect. Thus, the blessings of God are not arbitrary; they are given to those whom He has chosen according to His sovereign grace, rooted in His redemptive work in Christ.
