Blessings

Psalms 68:19, Ephesians 5:20, I Thessalonians 5:16-18, James 1:17, Romans 11:33

In the busyness of life as one hurries from one place to another they should stop often and meditate on the many blessings God has given to them.  Many years ago Johnson Oatman Jr. penned the words:

“When upon life’s billows you are tempest and tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost
Count your many blessings, name them one by one
It will surprise you what the the Lord has done.”

One of the great keys to living a victorious life is to meditate and be thankful for all the blessings of God. It is easy to focus on the challenges and problems of life and to forget or ignore all the blessings of God.  Each day we are showered with the mercies and faithfulness of our God and this should bring joy and rejoicing to our mind, heart, and life.

Prayer: Thank You Lord for the many blessings You have given to me.
