” Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” James 1:17
If we take our time to step back and look at all of the things good in our lives, I believe that we will be tremendously surprised. We have a tendency to focus on the bad things that happen to us, therefore our lives seem full of troubles and problems. Living as a child of our God is not and never will be easy. We were never promised a problem free life upon accepting Christ. It is quite the opposite. However, if we change our focus onto the good and great things that are given to us, we will be surprised at all of the blessings coming our way. The many blessings from the Lord makes us rich. He blesses us with wisdom, protection, abundance, ability, grace, joy, freedom and peace, all of which are resting upon us and whatever we put our hands to. 1 Peter 4:10-11 tells us: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace… so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. As we look and see the blessings coming our way, we can see that our cup is overflowing. It is important that we put these blessings into action within our own lives so that we serve our Lord as he continues to bless our talents, abilities, capabilities, and opens up ample opportunities to display his gracious gifts. Remember, He loves us beyond our understanding! Let us count our blessings and not our problems! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
