Ephesians 1:3 states we should be about "blessing God." Imagine that, we blessing Who needs nothing. But the entire verse reads, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord jesus Christ, Who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ." 

We are SO blessed by God! Can you count those Blessings? Notice it clearly states "ALL" spiritual blessings. 'All' those which are in Christ. And where is He today? At the right hand of God in the heavenlies.

As a truly born again Christian, we must recognize Jesus Christ not only did the greatest thing for us in dying upon that cruel cross to pay the cost for our sins, and shed His innocent and sinless blood to wash away the stains of all our sins forever! AND, now that Jesus arose from the dead and ascended into heaven, He is awaiting the very moment to return to this earth and sweep us away back up into His heaven forevermore. 

But until then, we CAN, by faith, literally step up out of our doldrums, depression, and complacency, and stand upon His promises thanking Him for of ALL these Blessings!

The world is awaiting, the Church is yearning, and the devil is fearing the Church to rise, stand, and declare these great and precious promises. How do we do that? By praising God as we prayerfully read His Word, in humility as His little children to love Him with all our heart, to serve God's people to grow in faith, and to tell our salvation story in our own way to as many as will hear us.

May your legacy of faith "In Christ" "Through the Holy Spirit" be what everyone remembers as you follow the Lordsship of Jesus Christ!

Amen.
