Count your blessings has different meaning to many people. To some it’s a reminder, to some it’s a call to duty and to others it’s an act of worship.
Regardless of which of these three categories you subscribe to, bottom line is we need to be thankful no matter what situation we find ourselves.
How many of us needs to be reminded to go to work or school? So why do we need to be reminded to appreciate God for all His wondrous deeds in our lives.
If we subscribe to the definition that counting our blessings is an act of worship definitely we won’t need to be reminded. Counting your blessings is a double edged sword. It makes you to see the good in every situation and rather than being bitter or angry or worse be depressed you become thankful.
It also makes you an avenue for additional blessings. Our God inhabits the praise of His people therefore by thanking Him we are only positioning ourselves for more of His blessings In 1st Thessalonians 5:8, we read “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” In this verse we are admonished to give thanks in all things.
I must tell you brethren that unless you are someone that counts your blessings and name them one by one you just might not be able to thank God when all is not well or when tragedy strikes (God for-bid).
In conclusion always count your blessings and give thanks. God bless you in Jesus Name. Amen.
You will have good success this 2019.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
