Have you ever sat around with friends playing the game, Top Five? Based on a given category, each person shouts out their top five favorites and tell why.
This week we will be reminded of the many blessings God has given and the importance of acknowledging each and thanking Him for all of them.
Too much focus on less favorable aspects of life often causes us to lose sight of God's blessings (both great and small). Truth is, whatever you are going through there is always someone, somewhere who is worse off than you are. So, we should always be thankful for what we have and in some cases for what we don't have.
Here's one from Numbers 6:24-26
“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”
This passage is a reminder that should encourage us. God is the giver of every good and perfect gift. Some of His gracious blessings include—the pardon of our sins; peace in our homes; the health and strength of our families; the availability of needed resources; safety and protection of evil.
Today, take some time to rejoice and give thanks to God for his many blessings!
Challenge:
- List the top five blessings and tell why you are grateful
- Consider another scripture that reminds you of God's blessings
- Meditate on that scripture for the remainder of the day
- Tomorrow, pick another five and repeat the challenge
