BLESSINGS

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:”

Ephesians 1:3 KJV

If we are in the center of God’s will for our life, He will help us.  I found this definition for blessing in Webster’s Dictionary “help and approval from God”.  Sometimes we do the things that we want to do.  They may be good things but they are not in the center of His will for us.  We need to learn to wait for God.

“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD” (Psalm 27:14).  Not only will He strengthen our heart, He will also guide our every step.  It is always safe for us to trust God because He knows what is best for us and He wants us to have an abundant life.

Because God wants us to have an abundant life, He gave Jesus to die for us “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.  I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep” (John 10:10, 11).

Heavenly Father, thank You for the many blessings You give us every day.  The greatest blessing You have given us is Jesus.  Precious Saviour, thank You for dying on the cross for my sins and thank You for never leaving me, not even for a minute.  I love You, dear Jesus.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
