Blessings
The Blessing of Peace
When God blesses us, He beams proudly at us like a father with his child. He wants us to have a close, personal relationship with Him. And when we do, He gives us all-encompassing peace. . .
The Practice of Praise
Often our adverse circumstances sabotage our efforts to honor God in every situation. But the Bible admonishes us to praise God in every circumstance. . .
God Always Provides
God always provides for us. Benefits overflow the shopping carts of our lives every single day. But He only gives us what we need for today. . .
The Hidden Blessings of Grief
Grief can be like a wildfire. You don’t know what parts of your life will turn to ashes and what parts will survive. But there are hidden blessings of grief. . .
Miracles Still Exist
People today are cynical about miracles. Even some Christians wonder if miracles still exist or if they are perhaps a Bible-times phenomenon. . .
Appreciate What You Have
It is okay to want something. The danger comes when we want what someone else has. Appreciate what you have—your own blessings and gifts. . .
Celebrating with Friends
God loves a good party, especially one that celebrates family togetherness. Think of all the reasons you have to celebrate. . .
Receive the Blessing
As you read the Bible, consider reading it out loud. As you do, hold out your hands with your palms up. Let this be an expression of your faith; an act of trusting God by accepting the good words written for you. . .
Your Life Is a Gift
Everyone has different gifts. Do you consider your life a gift? Or do you find yourself wondering if there’s a better life out there somewhere?
