AMAZING BLESSINGS POURED OUT ON YOU FROM HEAVEN

April 10

hildren That Are Blessed, why is the world so filled with complaints? There is so much dissatisfaction! Are you blessed? Why don't you set aside some time and lift your eyes toward heaven and recount those blessings? It will do you a world of good. For one thing when you thank the Lord it offers true praise, honor and adoration for your Father's kind oversight over your life and the lives of the members of your family. Could you have blessings and outpourings created by your offerings of worship, thanksgiving and praise to your Father? Yes, indeed it happens in just that manner! “God is enthroned in the praises of Israel (the redeemed ones)." (Psalm 22:3 NKJV) If you were to ask the question, "Where does God really live," then you have your answer. God is going to be where His people praise (love, bless, exalt, glorify) Him. Thus, your Father lives in your mouths as you exalt and praise His holy name! Have you been doing that lately, or are you more aware of your lack than of your blessings? Only you can answer that question. How are you blessed? You have the gift of your family and friends. Speak praise to the Father for His gifts to you of people who are there to care for you---- for instance, your pastor. He/she is there to be a friend, guide and shepherd to you to enrich you and your loved ones by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. How about your food? As you ask for your daily bread (food), your Father hears that prayer and sends the blessings forth on your table, each day, repeatedly. The Psalmist says, "I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread (food)." (Psalm 37:25 NKJV) What do you think about this passage? Don't you know Child of God that you will never live one day outside the view and loving care of your Heavenly Father? If you hunger, the Father allows himself to feel your lack and hunger. The Lord is moved with compassion for you and your family, and He sends the Holy Spirit to open the storehouse of God and send food to you. You must guard against complaints. The Israelites perished in the wilderness because of their grumbling and complaints. Now, lift up your voice to heaven and give thanks for several minutes to the Father, and watch for the outpouring from heaven!
