Counting Your Blessings

 "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits." Psalm 103:2 

Remembering God’s Goodness

It’s easy to focus on what we lack, the prayers that seem unanswered, or the difficulties we face. But Psalm 103:2 calls us to bless the Lord and not forget His benefits. David, the writer of this psalm, understood the importance of remembering God’s goodness. He encouraged his soul to be grateful, despite any challenges he faced.

When we intentionally count our blessings, we shift our focus from what’s missing to what God has already provided. Gratitude changes our perspective and strengthens our faith. Even in tough times, we can find reasons to praise God—our health, provision, friendships, salvation, and the gift of a new day.
