Ever had this question posed to you? “How have you been blessed by God this week?” As a teacher of God’s Word I have had the question asked of me and I too have asked that simple question. The first response is this: bewilderment, blank look, and then embarrassment.

I am sure as you read this you have a half smile on your face. Really? We all have faced that question. But really? I ask how has God blessed you today?

Blessings start with honoring our God and giving him the glory. You are right now asking this, what? But its true, blessings are residentially located in heaven with our God of blessings. “Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.” Revelation 5:12

I love the thought that we can give God blessing. For he is worthy of all blessing, honor, and glory. We can give him blessing because he gave us his Son, saved us, created us, gave us family, brings us happiness to our souls, provides for us, holds us in his hands, and that he provides for all our needs. Yes, we lack nothing in Jesus Christ. The world may say we lack but in Christ we have all things according to his will and purpose.

“The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth nor sorrow with it.”
Proverbs 10:22

Right now think on how God has blessed you this very moment. Surrender your thoughts to him and he will reveal his love for you. Think on things not of this world but on what he has done for you. Step outside at night and look up and say thank you God for giving me life. Listen to the birds in the morning and know God provides for them. Have yourself a good laugh and smile at pictures of past memories. Yes, God gives us joy and laughter. Think of his return to take us home. Yes, the biggest blessing to his children on planet earth.

Today I am blessed because my God has supplied all my needs for this day and forever. Today I am blessed because I know my Savior lives. Today I am blessed because he gives me peace. Today I am blessed because he puts words in my heart to share with you.
