Blessings

Greetings!

Lately, I have been hearing a lot about being blessed suddenly or having unusual blessings. And I got so caught up in the hype that I was beginning to overlook God's daily blessings. Don't get me wrong...there are some unexpected, supernatural blessings that definitely need to be acknowledged and God does those on a daily basis too. But, what I'm talking about is when we look so hard for those type of blessings that we miss how God wakes us up one more day or how He causes the sun to rise or the wind to blow just enough to give a cool breeze. I don't want to take those blessings for granted. I want God to know that I appreciate every blessing...

I am a firm believer that God looks for ways to bless us. Why wouldn't He? He loves us and just like any good father, He wants to see His children prosper and succeed. He says so in His word. I just want to be like Paul and be content no matter what state I'm in (Phil. 4:11). God knows us and He knows exactly what we need...even though sometimes we believe He moves a little too slow.

I did a google search for what God says are blessings and here are a few scriptures I found:

"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus." --Phil. 4:19

"Out of His fullness, we have all received grace in place of grace already given." --John 1:16

"Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me." --Psalm 138:7

I am blessed...we are blessed. Sometimes we just have different ideas about what that really means.

Until next time...

Be blessed!
