Blessings Abundant

I do a daily devotional journal called The Daily Light Journal. The Daily Light was first published by Samuel Bagster in 1794, then in 2004 Anne Graham Lotz put the Scripture in the NKJV, and added a journaling area. I LOVE IT! I've filled 2 and am close to filling the third. One particular entry was a lot of fun and although it was assigned for August 6, it is very appropriate for America's Thanksgiving holiday.

So, meditate upon some of the awesome Scriptures from this devotional piece, then maybe you can follow through with the "assignment"... once a teacher, always a teacher - can't get away from homework. :)

O Lord our God, all this abundance... is from Your hand, and is all Your own" 1 Chronicles 29:16


Of Him and through Him and to Him are all tings, to whom be glory forever. Amen. Romans 11:36

The living God ... gives us richly all things to enjoy. 1 Timothy 6:17

My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

Take a look before we start our assignment at that last verse I listed. "Riches" - we often think of riches monetarily, but God, I feel, has a far different view of riches. PRICELESS riches are more along His line of thinking, I believe. A Godly heritage, health, peace, joy... Priceless riches from HIS hand.

Now, for the fun assignment. Make an alphabetical list - A through Z - of God's blessings in your life. It might seem a difficult task at first, but once you get started - WOW! Look what God has done!

Here's mine:

A - Alesia; she signs my paycheck!!! :)

H - home, heritage, homeschooling friends, health

"Thank You, Lord, for saving me,
for giving me the hope of eternity,
Thank You, Lord, for Calvary
and sending Jesus Christ for me.
For it's by the blood of the Lamb
that He doesn't see me as I am.
And it's by the cross of Calvary
that He sees me holy..." (by jan,2001)

Okay, your turn!
