Have you opened all of God’s gifts? When we think about blessings, we sometimes focus on material and physical benefits like homes, jobs, family, and health. But there are even greater spiritual provisions that we may not have considered. In this message, Dr. Stanley teaches us how to be mindful of the wealth of favor we receive from God, at the moment of salvation and every day thereafter. As we intentionally recognize every good thing we see, hear, and hope for as coming from a generous heavenly Father, our lives will be filled with gratitude and praise.
Although there are many reasons to be grateful to God, when was the last time you stopped to count your blessings? Usually our thoughts immediately go to the material and physical benefits like houses, jobs, family, and health, but there are even greater spiritual blessings that we may not have considered. Every good thing from God that comes to us in salvation should fill our hearts and minds with gratitude and praise.
