A Very Long List

 

“…were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.”

—Psalm 40:5c

Have you ever tried to write down a list of all the many good things that God has done for you? I cannot help but believe that were we to start such a list, it would go on and on.

Topping the list: before the foundation of the earth, God chose us to belong to Him and in due time sent the Holy Spirit to reveal to us this wonderful news that, through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, our sins are forgiven and our home in heaven has been vouchsafed by His precious blood.

As wonderful as the reality that we have been chosen by God is, the list goes on from there to include blessing after blessing.

The Psalmist acknowledged such a long list when he wrote these words in Psalm 40:5:

Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.

Let us begin this new day by thanking God for His watchful care over us. Thank Him for the careful way He has directed our pathway. Praise Him for the many blessings He has poured into our lives.

Let gratitude overwhelm our spirits, so we may recognize how good and great God truly is.
