PSALM 103:2
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Vs. 2
The Psalmist says, bless the Lord o my soul and that is why in the new Month i want to bless the Lord for making me see this day and making you, you reading this see this beautiful Month of April.
A song writer says;
When i remember the things,
God has done for me,
I can not tell it all,
I can not shout it all,
I will sing Hallelujah,
I will shout Hallelujah,
I will sing Praise the Lord.
Just thinking about the Month which just finished, the Month of January, February, March and just want to say His Thank you Jesus.
Sometimes, life's trails are too difficult to understand and life's pain is too much bare. But in those times, look up to God and count your blessings.
A Hymn composer once wrote;
Count your blessings name them one by one
Count your blessings see what God has done,
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
Am a living testimony of the blessings God has done and has i think over it day after day i see that it is the mercy of God that has sustained me and my family.
Who am i that He is mindful of?
A sinner like me?
When this new year started and everyone one was shouting Happy New Year, i shouted but it was a shout of fear because within me i asked;
- How is this New Year going to be for i and my family?
- What does it hold in stock for me?
But as i look back, i see that i overcame everything with a smile and saw that He was with me all the while even when i never knew.
The tribulation that came, the pains and struggles, He carried me when others carried their gods.
As i begin to count my blessings and naming them one by one, i am amazed of the wonderful things He has done for myself and my family. When i was scared that i had no one to run to, when i was scared that their is not going to be money to pay for my house rent, the only roof over my head and that my Landlord will probably send me and my family out, i see Him change the things around for my own good.
When i thought of the uncles and aunties i was going to call to save me, funny enough none came to my rescue but Jesus came to my rescue.
If the likes of Job, David and the rest of them who saw more tribulations than i did could still count their blessing, why can't i do same?
He is too faithful to fail us so just believe that He shall complete the good works He started in our life as we continue to praise His Holy name.
