Spiritual And Material!
"Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all His benefits."
Psalm 103: 2
We live in a world that is both material and
spiritual. On the material side, we
access our
world through our five senses: sight, touch,
taste, smell, and hearing.
It's no wonder Apostle John warned about
“the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes,
and pride of life”—“all that is in the world”
(1 John 2:16). It is easy to be enticed by the
things of this world, to think they will bless
our life.
But
the Bible says that God’s blessings are both
material and spiritual. He forgives our sins, heals
our diseases, redeems us from
destruction, loves
us, shows compassion to us, satisfies our life
with good things, and renews our
youth
(Psalm 103:3-5).
The world cannot offer anything to compare with
the dual dimensions of God’s blessings, spiritual
and material. When tempted to seek blessing and
contentment in the things of this world, only look
to God’s promised blessings.
Look around you today and count your
blessings. Thank God for His provision
and commit all your needs to Him.
"The vast majority of mankind never gives
a thought of gratitude towards God for all
His care and blessings."
