Counting My Blessings

God has blessed me far beyond what I deserve, and I’m accountable for how I handle it. I don’t own these blessings—I manage them. My time, talents, and treasures belong to the Lord, and I’m called to use them for His glory and the good of others (1 Cor 10:31; 1 Pet 4:10–11). I want to enjoy what God has given, but never with entitlement. Gratitude is the right attitude. I reject both the hoarding mindset that clings to wealth and the guilt-ridden view that despises prosperity.

Trusting God’s Provision: Resting in His Promises

As Christians, we can depend on the Lord to provide for our daily needs. Abraham knew this to be true and said of Yahweh, “The LORD Will Provide” (Gen 22:14). And Paul wrote, “God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed” (2 Cor 9:8), and “God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Phil 4:19).
