God's blessings are manifestation of His love and care for us. The Scriptures show us numerous accounts of God's blessings poured out on humamity, especially His beloved.
Many come to God, Jesus and Holy Spirit for miracle, mansion, money etc. But recently we have been talking about just being in God's Presence just to be... Remember how I said to you that God left us with His Presence and this is where we need to be in contentment and compassion.
God gave us many things to enjoy, it is unfortunate we lose sight of that promise in 1 Timothy 6:17, which encourages us to place our hope in God absolutely, not in riches.
In all my years in understanding, it is all I have done, trust God absolutely. I have not always has all I need but I love loving God and being in His Preaence is my delight.
Psalm 68:19 says Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. This is a declaration of gratitude to God for His daily blessings, benefits, and provision for us His children. The interesting thing is tjt is is DAILY and the word "Selah" at the end of the verse is a musical or liturgical term that encourages us to pause and reflection on that truth based on absolute love.
Beyond the tangible things we can hold, let us explore aspects of God's blessings that He pours out daily to positively impact our lives.
1. Love
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). God's love is the foundation of His blessings. We need to do nothing to earn it but there are many things we can do to cement.
2. Peace
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither be afraid (John 14:27). God's peace is a blessing that brings calm and stability to our lives. The land called peace is where positive seeds thrive.
3. Joy
You will make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore (Psalm 16:11). Being in God's presence gives Him pleasure and this leads him to serve us joy.
4. Mercy
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead (1 Peter 1:3). God's mercy brings us new life, new hope and new beginning.
5. Grace
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all humans. It teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godled lives in this present age (Titus 2:11-12). God's grace makes salvation accessible and teaches us to live a Christ-ordered life.
Conclusion
God is a treasure trove of love, peace, joy, mercy, and grace; He is too faithful to fail.
As we live and find contentment in God's Presence, we experience the fullness of His blessings and discover the bliss of living a life that is pleasing to Him.
I pray that we will continually seek God's Presence so we can tap into God's blessings and be strengthened to continue to walk in the path of life that He has in liberty set before us.
