Bless His Holy Name
Psalms 145:1-21, Proverbs 10:22, II Corinthians 1:3-4, Ephesians 1:3, James 1:17
It seems quite easy to forget all God's blessings and focus on what one wants or desires. This focus on wants often leads to despair, depression, worry, anger, and more. It is helpful each day to focus, and as the songwriter penned, “count your many blessings, name them one by one.” Yes, there are things we want but the blessings (gifts) of God are many such as:
Health
Food
A home and a place to sleep
Friends
Protection
A job
Specific things to do
And much more. Stop now and “count your blessings”. Just look around and you will probably see a great many things that God has showered on your life and has brought you much joy in these things. Remind yourself and others of the great hand of God and His many blessings.
Prayer: Thank You Lord for all the great blessings You have given me.
Project: Make a list now of all that is on your mind or in your sight of God’s blessings..
