Good news seems to be rare these days, and it does not take long to get down when looking at headlines. However, there are many things for which you and I can be happy. The Lord is always doing something good.
The list of good things is big. People beating illnesses, days spent with kids, and many other blessings. If you are in need of a bit of good news today, take stock of the blessings and miracles the Lord has put in your life.
Song lyrics can present the Lord’s message to us in a melody which goes straight to the heart. We are reminded of timeless truth which can change our outlook and attitude.
Blessings by Florida Georgia Line has those lyrics.
We are reminded of our blessings. “It sure ain’t hard to count your blessings,” the chorus says. An inventory of our blessings won’t fit on one hand or even two. Thinking about our blessings helps us see we have an abundance. A comprehensive list of our blessings can move us from discouraged to encouraged.
The old hymn Count Your Blessings suggests we name them one by one.
“When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings. Name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Count your blessings. Name them one by one.
Count your blessings. See what God hath done.
Count your blessings. Name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.”
It is not hard to count your blessings. Every good and perfect gift has come from the Lord above. Share how the Lord has blessed you in the comments below.
