There is a marvelous song sung by Beverly Crawford that wonderously exclaims that “If the Lord doesn’t do anything else for me, He’s done enough”. What a wonderful affirmation of thanksgiving. He has done exceeding abundantly above all that we might have asked or thought, according to the power that worketh in us. He has blessed us once and He has blessed us twice and He keeps on blessing us. The scripture tells us in Ephesians 1:3: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ”. Here Paul asserts that Christians have already been made beneficiaries of every spiritual blessing that belongs to and comes from the heavenly places.
Dear Ones, it is the character of our heavenly Father to bless us. He has blessed us, past tense; He is blessing us now, present tense; and He shall continue to bless us in the future. That’s the kind of God we serve. Please know this, it does not matter what adversities we experience, the burdens we bear, the difficulties we must overcome; praise the Lord, give Him the honor due a loving, gracious, generous heavenly Father.
Hear the word of the Lord: “Blessings are upon the head of the Just: But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked”. (Proverbs 10:6). Well halleluiah!! “The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it”. (Proverbs 10:22).
How we thank God for His gifts and His favors, His blessings.
