Eight Blessings


Thanksgiving as found in 1 Corinthians 1:4­9:

 4 I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5 For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge— 6 God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. 7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 8 He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

We come to God so often with our complaints, requests, or needs that we tend to neglect giving thanks to Him. Consider these things we should be thankful for God’s:

    1. People (v. 4).

    2. Grace (v. 4).

    3. Wisdom (v. 5).

    4. Salvation (v. 6).

    5. Gifts (v. 7).

    6. Protection (v. 8).

    7. Faithfulness (v. 9).

    8. Fellowship (v. 9).

All believers have received these eight blessings; let's give Him thanks. Amen?
