Isaiah 49:6 tells the prophet he is to be a light to the nations, and so should each of us that know the grace of the Lord. This is indeed the greater task to which we should aspire. Isaiah was shortsighted and thought he was only a minister to the Hebrews but God said that task was ...Too Small A Thing... and that He would be a witness to the enitre earth. And so he wrote a book we read 2700 years later.

So Many Blessing to Thank God For....

Maybe this is sort of a strange blog post today, but maybe one that would make you do something similar today.

I have so many blessings that I am counting them as the song says: " .... Name them one by one.... Count your many blessing and see what God has done."

So here is a partial list of the many blessings I am counting as they come to my mind I am writing them down,

The Lord has blessed me with.....
1. A great cup of coffee.
2. A good computer to write and praise the Lord with.
3. A wife who loves me and serves God.
4. Wonderful children with good jobs.
5. The most beautiful grand-daughters in the world. (this is not debatable)
6. A great church that allows me to serve them.
7. Mission Work that is planned ... Wyoming in June .... Nicaragua in September... Ethiopia March 2016
8. Opportunity to serve Law Enforcement Personnel.
9. A chance to preach tonight. (Psalm 88 the saddest Psalm in the Bible.)
10. Progress on our building program. Things getting done and gifts being given to pay for it.
11. Sunshine today! I got to work outside yesterday afternoon and I hope I will a few minutes this morning.
12. The Words of God that feed my soul.

I thought about writing more because there are many, many more blessings in my life. But you might get bored with reading about me. Can you identify with some of these?. If you make a list of the blessings you have, then the problems you have (and I do have some of those too) will just seem much, much smaller.

The blessings of this day are yours to hold. Consider the greatest blessing of all and the only one that really matters in this world. I could write this blessing many ways, but Scripture is the best way really to write out the greatest of all blessings. It is three verses to tell us how we who know Jesus are really blessed.

1 Peter 1:3-5 NASB 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Somebody say AMEN!
