COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

Tewogbade Abegunde

Beloved, with Jesus joy in my heart I welcome you to the month of thanks giving. Remember the post on a grateful heart, this is another opportunity to express our heart of gratitude. Write your own psalm, sing your own song, think deeply and thank God, because the Lord is good and His mercies endures forever.

Johnson Oatman wrote a beautiful piece that should set anyone thinking when it comes to being grateful to God. The first stanza of the song is as follows:

Count your blessing, name them one by one

Count your blessing, see what God has done

Count your blessing name them one by one

Count your many blessing, see what God hath done.

Just make a trial now, pick a pen and a paper, and write out everything God has done from January till date, if you will try like I did, you will suddenly discover that this God is awesome and deserve all your praise. Your testimonies may just be accurately captured by the wordings of this song that says:

God is beautiful beyond description

Too marvelous for worth

Too wonderful for comprehension

Like nothing ever seen or heard

Who can grasp His infinite wisdom?

Who can phantom the depth of His Love?

He is beautiful beyond description

Majesty enthroned above

So I stand in awe of you

All praise due

I stand in awe of you

     As we tidy up the activities of this year, remember to celebrate Jesus in all situations. The Psalmist admonishes us to sing a new song to the Lord (Psalm 96 vs 1). Sing a song, write a poem, make a list of how gracious God has been, He is and He is going to be. Remember no one can thank Him enough. God bless you.

Joy will never cease in your life in Jesus name.

Go on rejoicing for you will never know sorrow in Jesus name.
