Oh, the Blessings of God!

Psalm 23:5c

“…my cup runneth over.”

My, what a long time it’s been since I’ve written!  I am so sorry.  We all tend to get busy with the things of this life, and some things just get put on hold.  I will try to do better!

Last time, I ended with the thought that our cup should be running over…rather a lead in to this next section!  Our cup should be running over; the blessings of God truly abound!

I think for this section, I am just going to recount each promise phrase that is spoken of in this psalm:

(1)     Promise of Shepherding: tending, feeding, and guarding His precious sheep

(2)     Promise of Providing: providing for all our needs

   If we will cast all our cares on Him, He will meet those needs

   A God-centered life brings peace and contentment

(3)      Promise of Rest

  God knows just when we are in need of rest---and He provides it

(4)     Promise of Leading

  God leads—we are to follow!

 We must remember His way is always perfect!  His way is always best!

(5)    Promise of Restoration & Healing

 God heals us of all our heart and soul’s turmoils and hurts

(6)    Promise of Righteous Living

 If we follow Him and His leading, we’re going to live righteously

(7)    Promise of His Presence

 Trust God—He is with you

 God is our strength and confidence

(8)    Promise of His Protection and Comfort

(9)    Promise to Live Triumphantly

 Follow Christ and blessings will abound

(10)  Promise of Sanctification and the Master’s Use

A walk and work with God—working in and through us

There are so many precious promises throughout God's Word.  I do believe these rank right up near the top!

I hope this little review was a blessing to you.  Never forget all His many precious promises!
