Counting Your Blessimgs

“. . . For the things which are seen are temporary,

but the things which are not seen are eternal."

2 Corinthians 4:18

Today's Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 4:16-18.

Psalm 33, is an anonymous psalm that praises God and calls listeners to join in the praise (v 1-3). The psalm encourages us to celebrate God’s faithfulness with joyful praises (v 1-3) because “the word of the Lord is right and true” (v 4). Using the world God created as tangible proof of His power and dependability (v 5-7), the psalmist calls on the people of the world to worship Him: “Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him” (v 8).

When plans fail or people let us down, we can be tempted to be disappointed in God. However, we can rely on God’s trustworthiness because His plans “stand firm forever” (v 11) We can praise God, even when things go wrong because our loving Creator sustains everything and everyone. God is forever faithful.

Take a few moments and reflect on how you have experienced God’s character, creation, and love, and give Him praise for all His unfailing love. As the old gospel song says, “Count your many blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done!”

Prayer: Thank You, Lord God, for the life you have blessed me with. Thank You for the opportunities that I have been given and for the strength to make the most of them. In Jesus precious name. Amen.
