Do You Have Blessings?

BIBLE MEDITATION:

“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name” (Psalm 100:4).

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful” (Colossians 3:15). (Psalm 100:4 and Colossians 3:15)

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

If worry is the opposite of faith, then giving thanks is the expression of faith—in fact, the highest expression. You say, “I don’t know if I have as much to thank God for as some other people.” Well, the apostle Paul was in a filthy Philippian jail waiting to possibly be beheaded when he wrote, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6)

You see, God has blessed you. You may not think so because you’re measuring blessings by the barometer of health, wealth, and happiness. You say, “Oh, those are blessings!” Not always. Some people are cursed with wealth. Some people don’t know how to use health. And happiness keeps some people from seeking the Lord.

My friend, let me tell you what blessings we have: “Blessed be the Lord who daily loads us with benefits…” (Psalm 68:19). God has loaded your wagon. How often? Daily! “Through the LORD’S mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning…” (Lamentations 3:22-23). Every day you wake up to blessings. Thank Him for spiritual blessings and thank Him for simple blessings: good, clean water. Enough food. Shelter. The simple things. We are so blessed.

ACTION POINT:

Unthankful people are never happy people. They’re always filled with bitterness, fear, negativism, selfishness, and self-pity. Refuse to worry, but carry everything to God in prayer. Rejoice in the presence of the Lord. Rely upon the power of the Lord. Reflect on the provision of the Lord. Rest in the peace of the Lord. Do everything with thanksgiving
