Count your blessings today! We all have so much to be grateful for. I know life can be difficult and a kick in the stomach sometimes but we can choose to count all things joy and set our minds to things of good and not bad. It is a mental mindset. "Set" means to stay in position and not waiver. So if you "set" your mind on all things of God and choose Him and His promise that He will never let anything happen to you that He doesn't allow, then you can be blessed in Him always. Blessed assurance is a sense of peace that comes from knowing the Lord on an intimate level and to have the faith that surpasses all understanding. Faith in knowing that He will, not that He can. When you have this inner most strength and joy, you carry yourself differently and you will think and act differently. A thankful heart allows us to focus on that we do have and not on what we don't. The spiritual definition of faith can be found in Hebrews11:1 where it states “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (KJV). The Lord loves you and is there for you every step of your life in every way. Although there are times when He is silent, He is never gone. My prayer for all my brothers and sisters today is that you find joy in Him. And that you are able to be happy beyond measure and find peace in every situation. I pray the Lord shines upon you and that His grace is sufficient for you. I lift us all up in the Lord's Mighty Name and ask that He pour upon us His favor and mercy and bless us with the power of His blood and protect us from all evil and it is in Jesus name I ask these things, Amen.
1 Corinthians 16:13
