The blessings we Believers have in Jesus are often overlooked in naming our blessings. When we say “I’m blessed" we usually mean in our health, marriage, job, finances, or other things. And I thank God for those blessings myself. I have been blessed with a wife I treasure, amazing children and grandkidz, work I love, and pretty good health. “Praise God from whom all blessings flow!” CB version: Yay God!!!
The blessings we’ve been thinking about this Christmas at Riverbluff are more permanent than these and they are ours in Christ. We just need to be reminded of them periodically. Matt talked about the blessing of Knowing God. Joe talked about the blessing of God’s Favor. And Terry talked about the Strength God gives. All of these are ours in Christ.
This Sunday I will talk about the blessing of Salvation, then Christmas Eve the blessing of the Presence of God, and the 26th we'll talk about Hope. These are ours in Christ. Amazing!
While I would like to enjoy blessings like my wife, my grandkidz, my work and and my health for a long, long time; I will build my life on the blessings that are in Him and that will never end. I am blessed… in Christ.
Again… Yay, God!
