THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD PT2.
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich and addeth no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10 :22.
Dear friend, have you taken time to Reflect On The Blessings Of God in your life?
Because of the LORD’S great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. Lamentations 3:22, 26
A wise man used to ask the blessing at the noon meal by praying, “O Thou who has endowed us with so many gifts, now grant to us just one more–a grateful heart.” If there is one universal human failure, it is our habit of assuming credit for things which can properly be ascribed only to the great goodness of God.
The sin of ingratitude is a virus of the old nature that seems never to be quite eradicated. How about it? Do you take the blessings of God for granted? Gratitude is a memory of the heart; it is the recognition of all that God has done for us.
Do you think that God has ever let you down? Perhaps it would be better to ask, “What right does anyone have to order God to do something?” Unfortunately, most believers focus their attention on the things that they have not achieved or those challenges of life that appear insurmountable.
In reality, God owes us nothing; it is totally of His grace and mercy that He has blessed and preserved us. As James said, “We ask wrongly that we may consume our requests on our own selfish interests.”
Long ago, Jeremiah wrote, “Because of the Lord’s great love, we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” But Jeremiah did not stop there. He continued, “I say to myself, The Lord is my portion; therefore, I will wait for Him. The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord” (Lamentations 3:22-26).
Take inventory of God’s blessings, and as you do, be sure to thank Him for what He has withheld as well as for what He has given you. Do you ever thank Him for that terrible accident He averted or that headache or severe satanic attack that He miraculously healed and the shame He took away. Have you thanked Him for the food He provides daily. Have you thanked Him for your children and those little successes and provisions? Surely, the Psalmist had the heartbeat of God Himself when he wrote, “Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men” (Psalm 107:8).
Wherever you are, and no matter what you are doing, and no matter how pressing the need before you, stop and take inventory of today and ponder the goodness of the Lord, His faithfulness and lift up your voice in thanksgiving, saying, “God, thank you for being here today and forevermore.
