Blessed and Highly Favored

When people ask me how I am doing, my usual reply is, "Blessed and Highly favored." Some people look at me like I am the idiot that I can be, while others look at me like I am bragging. Well, let me clear that up - I am bragging - on GOD! He has truly blessed me and favored me far more than I deserve. FAR MORE.

I think we often lose sight of all that we have been given because we focus too much on what we think we lack. Yes, there are lots of people in this world making lots more money and living in much nicer houses and driving much fancier cars and eating the finest of foods but, if they don't know JESUS as LORD and SAVIOR, they aren't nearly as favored as I am.

Today's word is John 1:16, from the New Living Translation, which reads, "From His abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another."

I have said it before but it doesn't lessen it...do you know how blessed you are to have been able to get yourself out of bed this morning? To have dressed yourself? To have had something readily available to eat? To have been able to get up and walk and talk and move and speak and hear. Yep, you're blessed!

I don't know about you but I have received one gracious blessing after another. I am indeed Blessed and Highly Favored.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
