Count your blessings! | |
Count your blessings! This is a KJV Bible study guide! Psalm 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: [We all benefit in innumerable ways. All of us are breathing the air He created, right? Blessings come in many forms that we usually take for granted or don't even realize they are blessings. Have you thought about all the various ways God blesses you]? Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; [Give thanks for some things or “all” things? In whose name? We thank Him for all He has done for us. Also, don’t just count your blessings, make them count; in other words, use what God has given you. See the verses below]. Philippians2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. [Many are too self centered, they constantly feel sorry for themselves, and never are thinking of others. Get yourself off of your own mind; think of others. Get out there and help someone else who truly needs that help. You'll be amazed at how much better you'll feel and act]. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. [Give thanks for every thing? It is God's will for you]. Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. [Don't be a lover of money and material things of the world. Be satisfied with what you have. God will never give up on you; He has a lot of patience]. Most do not count their blessings and thank God for those blessings; especially this day and age (2023+). There are so many that can't even see their blessings, I'm sad to say. Many are too busy feeling sorry for themselves; they tend to focus on what they think they don't have compared to others. They're envious and covetous. Many tend to play the victim game avoiding personal responsibility for their lives. Be careful what you ask for! “I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself”. D.H. Lawrence. Study the Bible, cover to cover. If you have never done that, start today! You will be truly amazed at what is in the Bible. Proverbs 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. (When you show your compassion and love to the needy, that cannot help themselves, Father will reward you well for your service to Him). James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? James 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, James 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? (If you just say to them, well, have a nice day, then go on your way without listening to them or helping them; what good does that do them or you? If you have the ability and the means, listen to their problem and maybe you can help them in some way). James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. (Show your faith through your works; don’t be stingy with your blessings. Make your blessings count). A Billy Graham quote follows: God has promised to supply all of our needs, but He’s never promised to supply all of our greeds. —PITTSBURGH, PENN., BILLY GRAHAM CRUSADE, 1993 | |
