Scripture

Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for the spiritual blessings that Christ has brought us from heaven.

Observation

What a list of blessings is given here

• Before creation Christ chose us

• He adopted us

• He showed us grace

• Christ sacrificed His life-blood

• Our sins are forgiven

• He reveals His mysterious ways

• Christ, in the fullness of time, will bring together everything in heaven and on earth

Application

God has blessed us with every blessing in Christ. When I am feeling down I need to look up to Him.

I really am blessed. There is nothing that I lack because God supplies everything I need, in great abundance.

When I choose to focus on what He has done for me, the joy of the Lord really is my strength and mourning turns to dancing.

Prayer

Thank you Lord- Father, Son and Holy Spirit- for your amazing, overflowing and abundant grace. Help me to always give thanks in every situation. Amen.
