“Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works
Which You have done;
And Your thoughts which are toward us
Cannot be recounted to You in order;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered.”  Psalm 40:5

But we can sing each day the following refrain as we thank our wonderful God for His mighty works unto us.  

(Blessings: the gift of God’s grace.)
  “Count your blessings, name them one by one;
   Count your blessings, see what God hath done;
   Count your blessings, name them one by one;
   Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.”

God’s blessings are temporal and spiritual and as Scripture tells us ‘they are more than can be numbered’ I will, understandably, give only a few, but I would encourage each to make their own personal list of blessings.

Temporal (physical and temporal) blessings--
Prosperity (Not a name it and claim it prosperity, but God given needed supply):
“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, 
That there may be food in my house,
And prove Me now in this, 
Says the LORD of hosts,
If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you a blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.”  Malachi 3:10

Food and clothing:
“Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather in barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not of more value than they?  
Matthew 6:26
And,
“So why do you worry about clothing?  Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
And yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”  Matthew 6:28-29

Sowing and harvest:
“Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”  Acts 14:17

Children:
“Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
The fruit of the womb is His reward.
Like the arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them…”  Psalm 127:3-5

These blessings are not even a tip of the many blessings of God.  Make it a heart filling search for the One who blesses.

I close with Psalm 68:19
“Blessed be the LORD, 
Who daily loads us with benefits, 
The God of our salvation!”  Selah

Next time we will look at some of God’s spiritual blessings that He pours forth on His loved ones.
