My King – His Blessings

Greetings Dear Reader,

“No barrier can hinder Him from pouring out His blessings.”

I have always thought of “bless” as an odd sounding word.  It also seems so small a word for what it is.  The word is far too hasty for the magnitude of what it confers.  From the basics to the abundant every good thing we have is a blessing from God.  He blesses even those who hate him with life.

We think that we are the ones who have provided for ourselves.  It is so far from the truth.  It is Christ that “we live, and move, and have our being.”  Until I get to the place where I see that every good thing is a blessing from God I am not able to show the level of gratitude that is due.  Work, leisure, and everything in between are all part of God’s provision. 

As I ponder the blessings of my King I am led to consider that from the ordering of the cosmos to the offering of his life for my redemption he continually pours blessings upon me.  The very worst moments in my life are marked by his presence to carry me through them if necessary.  “He sends the rains on the just and the unjust.” 

As I move toward the celebration of the resurrection I must first pause to understand the blessing of the crucifixion.  In Christ’s worst moment he was still pouring out his blessings upon me in the form of his own blood.  That’s my King. 

All Good Gifts – Godspell

We plow the fields and scatter the good seed on the land..

But it is fed and watered by God's almighty hand..

He sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain...

The breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain...

All good gifts around us

Are sent from Heaven above

Then thank the Lord, oh thank the Lord for all his love...

We thank thee then, O Father, for all things bright and good,

The seedtime and the harvest, our life, our health, our food,

No gifts have we to offer for all thy love imparts

But that which thou desirest, our humble thankful hearts!

All good gifts around us

Are sent from Heaven above..

Then thank the Lord, oh thank the Lord for all his love..

I really wanna thank you Lord!
