God, Our God, Blesses Us (Ps. 67:6-7)

The earth has yielded its produce;
God, our God, blesses us.
God blesses us,
That all the ends of the earth may fear Him.

(Psalm 67:6-7, NASB)

We started this Psalm two days looking at how God blessed His people. And we’ll end this psalm by remembering yet again how He continues to bless us.

Did you wake up in a bed today? You are blessed. Many sleep on the ground.

Did you eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner? You are blessed. Many don’t know where they’ll get their next meal.

Did you put on clothes that are clean and relatively new? You are blessed. Many wear rags.

Did you go to a job? You are blessed. Many are out of work … and have been for a while.

If you have a roof over your head, you are blessed. If you have family nearby, you are blessed. If you have supportive friends, you are blessed.

And if you have accepted the gift of salvation through the death and resurrection of God the Son, you are indescribably blessed.

Have you thanked God for your many, many blessings? Thank Him today … and every day.
