So many times, we go to God with our needs. We seek Him when we are in financial need. We ask His help when we have trouble on the job. And we go to Him when we are hit with any of life’s other challenges. But how many times do we really meditate upon the amazing blessings from God? Here are some that I found in the Bible.
Psalm 3:8 “Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: Thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.”
