Precious And Honoured In His SightПримерок

If I asked you to list, as fast as you could, five blessings in your life, what would yours be? 

I naturally think of things like my family, my friends, my job, the beautiful city I live in, my health. These are all incredible blessings and things that I should rightly praise God for. But, the reality is, even if I didn’t have any of these things, I would still have every spiritual blessing in Christ. 

God chose us to be his people before the creation of the world. Despite our sin, he sees us as holy and blameless. Out of his deep love for us, he has adopted us “to sonship”, signifying not just our identity as his children, but also as heirs with Christ of an eternal kingdom. He has showered us with grace upon grace. Regardless of our circumstances, we always have a reason to praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

When was the last time you sat down and spent some time really praising God for all the spiritual blessings he’s lavished on you? Why not take some time for this now?
