“The Blessing of the Lord”
 
 
blessing of the lord
 
by Dona Hake
 

 Today I want us to meditate on the fact that we are blessed of the Lord!   God desires to bless us above and beyond all that we dare ask or think.  When I look around and see the work of His mighty hand I often wonder how one could not believe there is a God in Heaven. I am thankful that He desires His hand of blessing is upon our life. It is such a comfort to know that His loving eyes are upon us at all times.

Psalm 139:1-5  The Living Bible 
O Lord, You have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit or stand. When far away You know my every thought. You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment You know where I am. You know what I am going to say before I even say it. You both precede and follow me and place Your hand of blessing on my head.
 

While reading these verses my heart is especially blessed when I read “You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest.” Today as you go about your day I encourage you to be mindful of His plans for you as He works through your life. Be mindful and obedient to stop and rest as He instructs you to do that He may refresh and renew your strength. Many times we can get so focused on the work that we forget that our spirit needs refreshed and our body needs rest. He desires to continually empower us with His strength and wisdom that we would not get weary in doing His will. God bless you as you ponder His blessings in your life!  Praise God for we are the blessed!!!
