How many times have we taken the good things in our life for granted? We often overlook the countless blessings that we have received from God.
In this blog post, I want to take some time to reflect on some of the great things that God has done for us.
Even though we may not always recognize it, God is always at work in our lives, doing great things for us.
Let’s take a look at some of these amazing blessings!
1. God has given us life itself.
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb… I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” – Psalm 139:13-14
This is the first and most basic blessing that we have received from God. He has given us life itself! We are alive because of the grace of God. We should praise him for this every day.
When we understand that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, it changes our perspective on life. We are not accidents or mistakes. We are here for a reason and have a purpose. This should give us confidence and hope as we go through life.
Praise God that he has given us life and that we are fearfully and wonderfully made!
2. God has given us a family.
Another great blessing that God has given us is a family. Whether we are close to our blood relatives or not, God has placed people in our lives who can love and support us.
“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” – Psalm 133:1
God has given us brothers and sisters in Christ to help us grow in our faith. We need other people to encourage us and hold us accountable. It’s not meant for us to go through life alone.
Thank God for the family he has given us!
3. God has given us a home.
Not everyone has a roof over their head, but if we do, it is because of the goodness of God. He has given us a place to live and be safe from the elements.
“The Lord is my Shepherd, I lack nothing.” – Psalm 23:1
Even if our home is not perfect, we can be thankful that we have a place to call our own. We are blessed to have a safe place to sleep at night and store our belongings.
Give thanks to God for your home today.
“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” – Oprah Winfrey
When we take the time to be thankful for our blessings, we open the door to more abundance in our lives. When we focus on what we lack, we will always feel like we are lacking something. Be thankful for your home today and watch your blessings multiply.
4. God has given us health.
Another great blessing that we often take for granted is our health. We may not be perfect, but we are alive and able to function.
“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” – Colossians 3:17
We should be thankful for our health, even if we are not feeling our best. We can use our health to glorify God and serve others. When we are not healthy, it is difficult to do anything else.
Give thanks to God for your health today!
5. God has given us talents and gifts.
We all have been given unique talents and gifts by God. These are meant to be used for his glory and to bless others.
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” – 1 Peter 4:10
When we use our talents and gifts to serve others, we are being good stewards of the blessings that God has given us. We should not take these gifts for granted, but use them to make a difference in the world.
Think about the talents and gifts that God has given you. How can you use them to serve others today?
6. God has given us a sense of humor.
One of the best gifts that God has given us is a sense of humor. This allows us to laugh at ourselves and enjoy life more.
“A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” – Proverbs 17:22
When we have a sense of humor, we can enjoy life more and even deal with difficult situations. It’s a good way to release stress and tension.
Be thankful for your sense of humor today!
7. God has given us nature.
Another blessing that we often take for granted is nature. We live in a world that is full of beauty, from the flowers to the stars.
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” – Psalm 19:1
We should take time to appreciate the natural world around us. It is a reflection of the glory of God.
Take some time today to appreciate the beauty of nature. Thank God for the world he has created!
8. God has given us love.
One of the best things that God has given us is love. This includes the love of family, friends, and even strangers.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” – John 15:13
When we love others, we are demonstrating the love of God. This is a powerful way to change the world.
Be thankful for the love in your life today!
9. God has given us forgiveness.
Another great blessing that we have been given is forgiveness. When we make mistakes, we can always come to God and ask for forgiveness.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” – 1 John 1:9
This is a great comfort when we are struggling. We can know that we are forgiven and that God still loves us.
Give thanks to God for his forgiveness today!
10. God has given us eternal life.
The ultimate blessing that we have been given is eternal life. This is the promise of a life after death in heaven with God.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16
This is the most important thing that we have been given. We should be thankful for it every day!
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope that you have been encouraged and blessed by it. God has given us so much to be thankful for!
Let us never take his blessings for granted, but use them to glorify him and serve others.
Have a blessed day!
