Count your blessings

28 December 2011

“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.

God has poured out HIS abundance on us from the heavenly realms in all manner of blessings. 
Counting your blessings can be a challenge , rather it’s so easy and natural to focus on our losses.

“Count your blessings. Name them one by one. Count your blessing, and see what God has done.” 
Bible says, “ in everything give thanks.” Learn to follow this verse, and thank God, even when something happens that appears to be bad or worst.

Say aloud “Thank you, Lord Jesus, your power is manifested in my emergency. You are still  in control”. Both fine and dreadful things may cross our life. It is good that GOD has allowed it to happen for some good reason. Your faith is the evidence to show that you believe that God knows  the best.

• "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 
• "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13 
• “…give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18
• "I will bless them and the places surrounding my hill. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing. -- Ezekiel 34:26

We enjoy a lot of blessings. But usually we are too busy and tend to forget to pause and thank God with a grateful heart. Remember that, we have really seen great things in life. (probably miracles )  

• "We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!  For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near .Psalm 75:1

Year end is a perfect time, to stop, rewind, think, then reflect and remember and  to count your blessings.

 Give thanks and be grateful for all that you have.

Praise the Lord

 God bless
