God's Blessings to Us

Tweet

Today God has provided a wide assortment of blessings throughout our day. Early morning began with His gift of a new day; filled with fresh mercies; and the ability to breathe, and move, and have our being. Even tho clouds were present; the warm sunshine peaked through for quite awhile before the rains came; and even thunder roared for a bit; and then it was quite again as the rain stopped falling and sunlight made its way through the clouds; and then darkness fell; and throughout the day there was shelter from the storms; food on our table; clothes on our backs and shoes on our feet; and now as we prepare for a time of rest; we bow before our Holy Lord with heartfelt thanks and gratitude for the many blessings He shed on us during this one day.........and some would dare to say they are not blessed......Really??? Too often, we take God for granted......we take life for granted....... and we take daily blessings for granted. Blessings of protection, blessings of provision, blessings of being loved beyond measure, blessings of family, blessings of friends, blessings of forgiveness; and the list could go on and on and on. My question is, "When do we really stop and count our blessings?"...... When do we give God the love He deserves?..... When do we realize Who He is?...... When do we give Him our complete heart? It will be when we finally realize Whose we are; Children of the Most High God in Christ Jesus! As you relax in bed tonight and begin to close your eyes to rest; take just a moment to open your mind and count all the ways God has blessed your life throughout this day- just today; and if you're totally honest with yourself, it will surely surprise you at all the blessings God has given, and all the ways He has provided and protected you throughout this day. So give Him thanks, because truly He is worthy of ALL our thanks! And as you begin to thank Him, you will feel another blessing of His loving peace sweep over your body; a peace that passes all understanding as you relax in Him. And now that you've given Him praise and you know 'whose you are' and that tomorrow is all in His hands; you can smile to yourself with this newly found peace, and say without a doubt, "It is well with my soul." Be Blessed, dear friends, knowing that God has you covered in the palm of His hands. He loves you and so do I~~
