MEMORY VERSE:
Psalms 103:1-2.
“1. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:”
BIBLE READING:
Genesis 32:10.
“10. I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; For With My Staff I Passed Over This Jordan; And Now I Am Become Two Bands.”
One of our hymns says,
“Count your blessings name them one by one, count your blessings see what God has done,
Count your blessings,
Name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done”
We are ungrateful because we refuse to remember how and where we were before now. We focus on what we desire to get and have not gotten. We seek to be somewhere and forgot where He brought us from. Some of us never deserved the promotions we’ve enjoyed in time past but God, in His mercy, changed our stories still, we are held back by what He hasn’t done for us. A quick thought, do you remember how you came to where you are? Do you remember what you had then? Can you count those things you have as properties now and compare with what you had then?
Jacob knew he was the best cheater until he met Laban who dealt with him, but he realizes how He crossed the Jordan with just a staff and just himself but now, He had Eleven children, four wives and thousands of flocks to his credit, then he turned to heaven and said,
“… for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.”
Until you get to a point where you see the works of God in your life, what he’s done from your past till date, you might remain ungrateful to Him. Just remember the nicknames given to you in the past, are they still active compare to what God has done for you?
Please be a grateful child of God by being thankful this week. Tell Him what he’s done around you, count your blessings and see what He’s done for you.
God Morning and God Bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
