Countless Blessings

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. Psalm 40:5

His works and thoughts toward us cannot be numbered. Think about that.

There are over 31 million seconds in a year. How many blessings do you think you received last year? If you are like me, you listed several in your journal. But what about those you don’t see or hear in those seconds? I’m pretty sure those blessings would fill a journal or two. So, with that in mind, do you think we have a reason to praise our God?

Unexpected Blessings

I had an extra reason to give thanks when I opened my door one gray morning and found this beauty. Nothing kept her from enjoying her Creator’s offering scattered on the ground. I love when deer pause and look at me. She allowed me to take several shots before leaving.

New Year Blessings

I’m not a Word of the Year kind of girl. But this year is different. As I pondered the word faithful, I began to think about God’s faithfulness to me, and how I can be faithful to Him. I’m enjoying the songs He has given me to study. I can’t wait to share!

Crowned with Thy Goodness

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness.

Psalm 65:11

This week I’ve been reading about God’s faithfulness. And you know what? This year, good or bad, is crowned with His goodness. For not all blessings are physical. The greatest blessings are spiritual.

Funny how we often lose sight of that truth. This year, may we rejoice like Habakkuk.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: 
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 
The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

Habakkuk 3:17-19 KJV

What are you praying for in 2022?

Tidings of Great Joy

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people (Luke 2:10).

Joy to the World

Joy to the world! The Lord is come: Let earth receive her King; let ev’ry heart prepare Him room, and heav’n and nature sing, and heav’n and nature sing, and heav’n, and heav’n and nature sing.

Joy to the earth! The Savior reigns: Let men their songs employ; while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy, repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow far as the curse is found, far as the curse is found, far as, far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove the glories of His righteousness and wonders of His love, and wonders of His love, and wonders, and wonders of His love.
