Count your blessings!

When I was much younger, there was a song the church used to sing:

“Count your blessings; name them one by one. Count your blessings, see what God has done. Count your blessings; name them one by one. Count your many blessings, see what God has done.”

How often do we count our blessings? Do we honestly realize how blessed we are?

Every morning when I get up, I look up and say, ‘Thank you.’ It is a thank you for everything. Without Him, I have nothing. I have been so blessed in my life. Even when I have gone through trials, I have been blessed in some way.

People say that sometimes walking with Jesus is a learning curve and not easy. I have learned that I must walk through the tests or trials with Him (the key word being WITH).

There are many places that do not tolerate the Word of God. I think back on the disciples and how they were persecuted. Yet when Paul and Silas were in jail, they were singing songs. Why? Because they considered themselves extremely blessed to suffer for the cause of Christ, or maybe they simply just trusted He would rescue them. 

I wonder when people sing that song if they honestly understand how blessed they truly are. They can come to church, relax in a pew, hear the Word of God preached, and sing songs of praise in air conditioning.

Remember to count your blessings when you are feeling lost or down. Name them one by one. Do it out loud. Then, consider your life before Jesus. Thank God (out loud) for what He has done.

Have a great Thanksgiving 2024!

“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18).
