Blessed Beyond Belief 10-18-07

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Align my heart and mind with Yours. ... "May our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, our daughters like corner pillars, cut for the building of a palace. May our barns be filled, with produce of every kind; may our sheep increase by thousands, by tens of thousands in our fields, and may our cattle be heavy with young. May there be no breach in the walls, no exile, and no cry of distress in our streets. Happy are the people to whom such blessings fall; happy are the people whose God is the Lord" (Psalm 144:12-15). Some say it's wrong to seek Your blessings -- that we should be more passive and just takes what comes. But that's not a Biblical attitude in the light of this prayer of David and many other places of Your Word. "All Scripture is inspired by God" (2 Timothy 3:16). While some say, "Seek His face and not His hands," You call us to seek Your face and Your hands. And as we do, we must always remember to keep the right perspective and priorities, always seeking You first (Matthew 6:33). May I know that I am blessed beyond belief as a child of God. "When we cry, 'Abba! Father!' it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and join heirs with Christ" (Romans 8:15-17). It's important to understand, to seek, and to speak these blessings from Your hand, while continually seeking Your face. It reminds me of Your blessings even when I'm not feeling blessed and reminds me of Your eternal truth when my temporary circumstances may say otherwise. Blessed am I, a child of God, for my God is the Lord. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays If you can, Come to The Fountain Friday Night.
