TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “My cup overflows with blessings” Psalm 23:5
TODAY’S MESSAGE: Is it possible to become so busy with our own lives that we are able to shut out the message and the blessings from our Lord Jesus? Is it possible that we are able to shy away from the most important aspect of our lives and instead put our focus on ourselves and our daily activities? It may seem surprising to many but the answer to these questions is a resounding YES! We do it all of the time. God is rich in blessings. He loves us so much that he is ready, willing and does pour blessings over us each day. However, we become so involved with our earthly lives that we sometimes don’t recognize, nor do we accept what our Lord is doing for us. We are blessed daily with things that we just shrug off because we don’t take the time to focus on what our God has done and is doing in our lives. We are blessed with the food on our tables. We are blessed with our earthly possessions that we would not have without the abilities and opportunities given to us by our Lord God. We are blessed with the children we have received and blessed with the opportunity to raise them. We are blessed to have vehicles we can drive and with the employment we have to provide the best for our families. We are blessed with the houses we live in, and the people we meet and develop relationships with. We are blessed with our families, and we are blessed with the greatest and most generous God we can have. He blessed us by giving his one and only Son to die a most inhumane death on that cross so that you and I could have life. We are blessed every day to be alive with the opportunity to spread the message of salvation through the death of Jesus to others. It is time to take a step back and begin to thank our God in heaven for all of the blessings we entertain every day. It is time to stop taking these blessings for granted and begin to give our God the praise and the glory he so richly deserves. Yes, it is time to give our God our attention and to focus on Him and not the world around us. We must remember that without Him and his blessings our lives would be much different. We are so blessed for what we have, no matter how much. It is he who gives us the opportunities and the blessings in our lives. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
