Generous Assessment
“Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the
nations what He has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all
his wonderful acts. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those
who seek the LORD rejoice. Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his
face always. Remember the wonders He has done, his miracles, and the
judgments He pronounced”(I Chronicles 16:8-12).
From this Scripture, may I encourage you to count your blessings
differently from the way the world counts blessings. Its not a matter
of assessing our possessions, but assessing what the Lord has done.
Not necessarily what He has done “FOR US” but simply what He has done.
As Christians we sometimes miss the mark because we are so caught up
in praying for His blessings, we fail to pray for and enjoy His
presence.
Today, take a few moments to give thanks to the Lord for what He has
done. If you aren’t sure where to start, Look at Stephen’s in Acts
7:2. Stephen’s sermon will guide you through the great works and
wonders of the Lord! As you read through His sermon, be sure and give
thanks to the Lord for His works!
