Those Serving in April
One morning at work, while making myself some coffee using our Keurig, I seemed to wake up as my cup started to overflow. As I quietly cleaned up my mess before anyone noticed, a smile started to grow over my face. What I had done was humorous,
but then I thought about Psalm 23, “My cup runneth over, surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever”.
How often are we unobservant to the blessings that God gives us each day? A new day of life, good health that allows us to see, smell, hear, walk, talk. Do we see our cup as half empty instead of half full? Are we grateful for what we do have or consumed with what we don’t?
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him.” Ephesians 1:3-4
Johnson Oatman, Jr. lived in a home filled with hymns and grew up listening to a father who loved to sing. Born in 1856, he would be remembered primarily as an important Gospel songwriter the author of text to more than 5,000 hymns. In one of his most remembered songs he spoke of personal struggles and challenges, describing times of being “tempest tossed,” “discouraged,” and “thinking all is lost.”
In those dark times, he found the answer in gratitude to God: “Count your many blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.” He knew that believers could feel “burdened with a load of care, or the cross seems heavy we are called to bear.” He wrote, as you “count your many blessings,” you will find that “every doubt will fly.” Instead of being discouraged, “you will keep singing as the days go by.”
As we think about God’s Word, we must realize that God has promised “His wealth untold.” No matter what we face in life, we must remember that “God is over all.” Today, stop for a moment to count your blessings. Put aside questions and problems. Start naming His blessings one by one. Thank God for what He has already has done, for what he is doing, and for what he will do!
