It's not that I have something unique and extraordinary to share with the world. However, I'm at a place in my life where I think I need to be reminded of all God's countless blessings in my life. Too often, we get bogged down in the "to do" lists and troubles of the day, or worse, yesterday. And we certainly can't get too caught up in tomorrow.
As Matthew 6:34 states - "do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
My hope is to share God's blessings that I see in the world and/or my own life. These blessings will probably not be new revelations, but ones that you and I can benefit from being reminded of. So, this blog may only serve to refresh my spirit. But, I'm also hoping that others might be uplifted and encouraged through observing more of God's blessings in their own lives. After all, if we are all focused daily on God's blessings, how can our day be that bad!
Blessing 1
I'm at the beach and as I look at a blue heron in the water, I'm struck by the blessing of nature. How beautiful it is and how God sustains it. As Luke 12:24-26 speaks to us about how much more God values us than birds and yet He provides for them. How much more does God want to sustain me? So, if I know God provides for nature, how can I doubt His provision for me. It may not be what I want, but what He knows I need.
So there it is, let's worry a little less and praise God a little more for all His love & provisions.
