I am very thankful for all the blessings God has given me throughout my lifetime. There is an old song that says, "Count your many blessings, name them one by one. Count your many blessings, see what God has done!" It is not a bad idea to sit down and write out all the blessings you can remember because you will be amazed at how many you can come up with.
When you are going through tough times... and we all do... pull out that list of blessings and read through it. There should be no way you can stay downtrodden over your current situation. Be thankful to God for all of the blessings in your life and anticipate the blessings that are surely headed your way in the future.
How thankful are you for those blessings anyway? When someone gives you something that you really want or need, don't you express your thankfulness with excitement and joy? That is how we should thank God for his blessings. Sit down today and count (list) your many blessings and name them, one by one, so you can see just what God has done!
Psalms 92:4 (TPT) - "No wonder I'm so glad; I can't keep it in! Lord, I'm shouting with glee over all you've done, for all you've done for me!"
