Count your many blessings, name them one by one!

"Bless the LORD, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.” (Psalms 103:1-5 NASB)

Consider God's benefits and blessings

Someone has said, “Think how happy you would be if you suddenly lost everything you have, but then you got it all back!” Most of the time we take for granted what God has blessed us with. It is good to take some time and count your blessings. That’s what the psalm writer has done in the Bible passage above. He remembers God’s benefits to him and names them one by one; the pardoning of his iniquities, the healing of all his diseases and for redemption from the pit. He also remembers God’s loving kindness and compassion; that He satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like an eagle! He remembers his blessings and so should we! And, of course, we should thank God for them!

Having all that you need!

“And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” (2 Cor. 9:8 NIV)

Like a tree planted by the waters!

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” (Jer. 17:7-8 NIV)

Loving God leads to increase and blessings!

“For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.” (Deut. 30:16 NIV)
