Oh taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Psalm 34:8
When you are asked to count your blessings, your list may not be overwhelming. You struggle to make ends meet; your days are hard. You are grateful for much, but weariness clouds your vision.
Pause to think of this: when you have the Lord Jesus Christ, you have the greatest blessing possible. That is not spiritualizing; it is the bedrock of your existence now on earth and one day in heaven.
In Christ Jesus you have the Source of true life. He gives love, joy, peace, strength, comfort, hope, and patience. He nourishes your soul and energizes your spirit. Possessions are nice, but they can not impart life- only Jesus can.
In Christ you have a Friend for all seasons. He understands your disappointments, rejoices in your triumphs, and stands with you in your trials. You can confide in Him, weep before Him, and celebrate with Him.
Begin with all you have in Jesus Christ when you count your blessings. Then you will lose count.
Jesus, You are my greatest Source of blessings. You are my life. You give love, joy, peace, strength, comfort and hope. You nourish my soul and energize my spirit. Thank You Lord!
