It is good for one’s soul to stop on a regular basis, and ponder how blessed we are. Maybe things are not going perfectly at times but if we know the Lord, our heart can rest in the hope that His hand is upon us, and He has a plan for us today. If you know Him you are blessed, and today He has
wonderful plans and purposes for you! He desires to use you in special ways, so let us open our ears
and hearts to His desire for us. God is so very amazing as He created such a grand and beautiful world yet not one small detail of our life goes unnoticed by Him.
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 His hand of blessing is upon my life. It is such a comfort to know that His loving eyes are upon me at all times.
Psalm 139:1-5
Living Bible (TLB)
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. Also, be ready to stop and rest as He instructs you to do so in order that your may receive refreshing and strength from His mighty and gentle hands. Many times we can get so focused on the work that we forget that our spirit and in body need 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 and plan for your day!
