True Blessings

Where do true blessings come from? According to Ephesians, Chapter 1:3-6 the apostle Paul says:

"Blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will. To the praise of the glory off his grace, wherein he hat made us accepted in the beloved."

When we think of our blessings, we often think of many good things God has done for us that are visible, but the first basic and most important blessing is the one stated in Ephesians that says he chose us and made us his children. It is from that heavenly blessing that all other blessings follow.

As you count your blessings today, consider who God really is - the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Consider how he planned this special relationship that you have with him before the world even began! And, most of all, be thankful that we are accepted in the beloved.

This can also be a clue as to planning - if he planned this BEFORE the world began, think about how important it is to pray and plan BEFORE we begin something. It is the prayer, preparation and planning that makes for a true success and not leaving God out of our plans.

May God bless you and have a great day!
