DAILY BIBLE DEVOTION

 

Let Us Bless The Lord

This is one of the psalms attributed

to David. He is thanking God for

rescuing him and promising to

bless God at all times. He asks us to

join him in his praises. He says his

soul shall boast in the Lord. St. Paul

tells us that we, too, should only

boast in the Lord because it is he

who always saves us. So, today,

make a list. Make a list of

everything that you are thankful

for. Make a list of every success

you have had and every failure you

have survived. Make a list of every

 person who has helped you grow

as a person and as a Christian.

Now, look at it. Each of the items,

events or persons on these lists are

blessings from God. Either now, or

before the day is over, bless and

thank God for each of them. Ask

God, also, to bless each of the

people you have listed that you

might be a blessing for them. If

some of them are now with God,

they would still like to hear you

say thank you. God is so good to us

all the time, and as one of my

favorite people once answered,

and all the time God is good.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, we thank you for

all the times you have been there

for us even when we were unaware

of your presence. We thank you for

the people you have sent to us to

help us grow and we ask you to

bless them in turn. Amen.
