“Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,
who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
who keeps faith forever;
who executes justice for the oppressed,
who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;”
– Psalm 146:5-7
If you have embraced Jesus, then the Lord is your God and you are indeed blessed! The Creator of heaven and earth is your God and your perfect Father in Heaven. He is always, always, always faithful. He can’t be otherwise. He is always present with you, He knows all things, and He works all things together for good.
God will not go back on any of His promises nor will He grow tired or bored of caring for you. His ultimate justice will be perfect, absolute, and eternal and you can rest in that when you encounter injustice. His heart is for the poor and the oppressed. He cares about the most vulnerable and defenseless in society. He came to us when we were still prisoners to sin and death and offered us grace, life, and freedom through faith in Jesus.
If God is your God, what are some ways He has blessed you? Stop and consider those blessings. Think about them and give thanks. Delight in them. Reflect on the ways, both big and small, visible and invisible, in which God has helped you. Know that you are truly blessed and give thanks!
