Daily Blessings

As you awake each morning and begin each new day, what are you planning in your mind as your goals/focus for that day?
As I was pondering upon life in these days of ours and thinking about all of the struggles, frustration, anxiety, worry, hurriedness, discouragement, tension and stress that just seems to be the norm, I began to wonder - what if we would set as our primary goal/focus for each day that we bless the Lord by focusing on blessing others - in word and deed by His grace and truth?
Holy Spirit quicken us that we might have eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart to react to the opportunities that the Lord brings our way to bless people as we walk each day upon this earth.

Bless the Lord O my soul and all that is within me bless His Holy Name….

Psalm 103:1-5 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.

Psalm 115:18 But as for us, we will bless the LORD From this time forth and forever. Praise the LORD!

Psalm 129:8 "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD."

Proverbs 11:11 By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted

1 Peter 3:8-10 To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.


Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD  Psalm 33:1
