Count your blessings!

Power for Life Bible

"I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing." – Genesis 12:2

"God is blessing you!" Being blessed is not something that happened in your past or that you have to wait to have happen in your future. Rather, you are already blessed and you are continuing to be blessed.

The challenge is recognizing and counting our blessings no matter what we're facing. Yet when we stop to appreciate how God is blessing us, it is impossible to fear and worry. As the old praise song teaches, "Count your many blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done."

Focus on your blessings. Thank God for what you have, and thank him for what you do not have! After all, some "blessings" are really burdens in disguise. God knows what's best for you, and he will only give you what will ultimately be a blessing!
