Feeling So Blessed Today

Feeling so blessed today
Got what I need
Most of what I want
Not enough thanks I can say
Not enough praise I can give
To thank the Lord for all His goodness

I just be in awe and wonder
Of how generous and merciful God is
He is great and compassionate
And he’s blessed me beyond what I could have imagined
I think back over situations I’ve been in
How my life was full of sin
But Jesus forgave again and again ( Psalm 103)

About many things I still have to pray
And life can bring new challenges any day
But today I’m experiencing peace and quietness
As today I’m feeling so blessed.

 

Insight
Psalm 103 gives us a wealth of information about how God forgives sins and has mercy and compassion on His children. There is no way I can pay God back for all His generosity and compassion for me. I just write about His goodness in effort to praise Him and to help others.

Slow Down

Last night, my car warning light came on
I planned to get car fixed first thing in the morn
But in the morning found out the place I’d go to went out of business
With limited time, I feverishly started looking up nearby mechanics
Found a place that had the part and was close
Prayed I could drive there without having to be towed

Got there, but I sensed not to trust what they diagnosed
As they wanted me to replace car parts that were not that old
So, I went back to looking for a mechanic feverishly
When I heard a voice say to me
“Slow down, God’s got this
Didn’t He let you make it to first mechanic without breaking down or being towed?
Didn’t He let you drive away without anything being owed?
There’s another means to get to work today
So slow down and enjoy the rest of your day”

Then I calmed down, as this made so much sense
In a couple of days I’d have plenty of time to get car fixed
It makes me want to sing thanks to the Lord
For dealing with me so bountifully. Psalm 13:6

 

Insight
Sometimes rushing to solve a problem, makes the problem seem bigger than it actually is.
You can also unnecessarily stress yourself out about it.
Slowing down and thinking about alternative ways to solve the problem can lead to the best outcome.

Just A Touch Of Love

Just a touch of love
Does a lot to lift you up
To see a familiar face you haven’t seen in a while
Can really make you smile
Even a smile or greetings from someone never seen
Can make your heart merry
And don’t mention a hug
Nothing can heal like the human touch
One phone call can change your whole demeanor
And make the rest of your day more exciting and sweeter

The Bible states that love is the greatest gift (1 Corinthians 13:13)
Without it life is meaningless
As you can have health, wealth and all your desired things
But will still feel empty or unhappy
Without belonging to, or cared for by human beings
It’s God’s structuring (1 John 4:7-8)
And he loves each us unconditionally
So, express love today, it doesn’t have to be much
All it takes is just a touch.
