You’re Leaking
Bring it on Donkey Kong.
I’m saying YES to a blessed life—I’m taking what He’s giving.
I want to be more and more aware of His blessings in my life, to be be “blessing-conscious.”
Maybe you know that old hymn of the church…
“Count your blessings, name them one by one, count your blessings, see what God hath done!”
The first verse of that hymn says, “When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed, when you are discouraged, thinking all is lost—count your many blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.”
That’s so good.
Let’s be more blessing-conscious and celebrate all the good things God has done in our lives.
The Bible reminds us, “Through Christ, God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing that heaven has to offer.” (Ephesians 1.3 GNT)
Snap!
Every spiritual blessing that heaven has to offer…
Are you kidding me?
That’s huge.
What God dishes out (in terms of blessings) always exceeds our capacity to contain it.
We are overflowing, dripping, leaking, oozing with the blessings of God.
So go ahead—say YES to a blessed life.
Smile, celebrate it, and don’t forget…
You’re leaking.
HERE’S A CHALLENGE:
• Be “blessing-conscious” – be on the lookout for blessings today.
• Try to discover at least one blessing you weren’t really aware of before.
• Thank God for something you haven’t already thanked him for.
What blessings are you discovering? What blessings are you thankful for today?
I am a husband, father, pastor, leader & reader. I love God, love people & love life.
Love. By the way, a couple in our youth ministry blew through our front door this Sunday with a flat screen t.v. for us. Made me think of the message you preached about giving gifts. Been wanting one for years! Guess it’s time to get rid of our 70′s box.
That’s so good. Dang. Talk about blessing!
Celebrating with you & Elijah.
Love the challenge: Try to discover at least one blessing you weren’t really aware of before.
I’m all over that today!
I found an old journal where I’d been listing both blessings (everything from the pack of notecards from a friend to a gift of a night away) and also potential ways we could bless others. It was so fun to remember the goodness of God and others in our lives. Both being blessed and the ability to bless others: worthy of counting!
