When we count our blessings – NAME them one by one, we truly see what God has done.
The acknowledgement of God’s grace, of His work, of the details that fill our life - gives glory to God. As we give thanks in every situation, we are fulfilling the will of God in Christ Jesus for ourselves.
This is not a mindless task of silliness, but rather it is and becomes purpose and passion. As we exercise this discipline it negates the attempts of the enemy to bring sadness, despair and depression. When we fill our minds and our mouths with thoughts and words of the blessings of God it pushes out any room for the enemy to take root. This becomes warfare. Be prepared for the enemy’s onslaught of negativity, be prepared to offer praise – to name the gifts given by God each day. Write them down, recite the, speak them and revisit them. There is great peace, comfort, victory and reward in living this way. This opens the door for the Spirit of God to be manifest or evident in our lives. He will inhabit the praises of His people and others will be drawn to the exalted One.
Count your blessings – NAME them one by one.
