Count Your Blessings
Today's verse might remind us of a song many of us have heard at one time or another during our lifetimes. ๐ถ Count your blessings, name them one by one.
I'm wondering, however, when was the last time we actually did this?
It is easy to become so overwhelmed by life's circumstances that we are blinded to the fact that God has indeed dealt bountifully with us. His mercies are never ending; His loving kindness is greater than life itself. His salvation is sure, and His forgiveness is complete. His peace is real in the face of every storm; His provision is sufficient for every need.
Has He dealt bountifully with you? When you stop to consider all He has given and done for you, a song of praise is due Him. You say you can't sing? Just make a joyful noise โ it's the heart that pours forth the praise that blesses Him! But whatever you do, praise Him, thank Him, exalt Him. He's worthy of all our praise.
Start off each day with a song of praise on your lips, with peace in your heart, knowing He has indeed dealt bountifully with you in every matter that concerns you.
Prayer
Father, you have indeed dealt bountifully with me; I praise You for all You have done, for that which I see and even for that which I don't see. Amen.
