How many of you feel this way, I am blessed every day that I wake up in my right mind, and other things too.
Our blessings most of the time are simple every day provision. Most of us have all our needs and a little more. When we are satisfied with that then we are blessed.
When the Lord speaks of blessing it is my humble opinion that He is not speaking or thinking of piles of material wealth, but rather He is wanting to heap upon us His wisdom and grace among other character qualities that glorify Him.
Ephesians 1:3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:"
We have got to retrain our minds to think in spiritual terms rather than material. Our human tendency is to equate everything to the physical world, but God wants us to grow more and more in the spiritual. It is of much greater value for eternity. All our physical wealth will burn up one day and all that will be left is our character in Christ.
