The Test

“Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits.” Ps103.2 NIV

We are told not to forget all His benefits because there are times when this is easy to do. Most of us call out to God in times of need or distress. It is in the good times, the seasons of abundance, when we take His blessings for granted. It has been said that wealth will test the quality of our heart more than poverty.

For those of us who live in the land of abundance, we have little choice but to take the test. And, one way to measure how well we are doing is simply by listening to the attitude of our heart and the echo of our words. How often do the words, “Bless the LORD,” flow from our heart, and "Thank you," echo from our lips? 12/27/2007 ts
