Blessed By God
There is a famous hymn about stopping and counting our blessings when we feel beaten up and are about ready to give up. “When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.”
Let’s count our blessings and name them one by one. I am a child of God and belong to His family. I share the same spiritual birth with people from every corner of the globe. My sins have been forgiven past, present and future. Jesus nailed them to the cross and His blood covers them. Thank you, Jesus!
I have the Holy Spirit living inside of me. That is beyond human comprehension but true, nevertheless. The Holy Spirit comforts me by giving me assurance that I am God’s child. He helps me understand the things of God. He brings change to my life by bringing me love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and compassion.
I have 24/7 access to my Father in heaven. When I pick up my heavenly phone, I never get a busy signal. When I talk with God, He never sounds disinterested in what I am calling to talk with Him about. He gives me His undivided attention. He offers the best advice to solve my most difficult problems.
Today I am counting my blessings to begin my day. It has a way of getting my mind on what God wants me to think about!
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3 NIV
