#seekyourkingdom

I think leaving a place has made really made me count my blessings. I don’t do it enough, but whenever I do, I realize how #blessed I am.

“Praise God from whom all blessings flow...” has a lot more meaning and brings a lot more joy when I look back at all that I have been #blessed with.

Counting blessings however is not the end of it. It should be:

Count blessings (acknowledge God’s gifts)

Be thankful (actively thank God for His gifts)

Respond (now that you have been given something, be a good steward and use it to glorify God)

Also...

One of my favorite passages is Matthew 6. In it, God promises that if we seek him above all other things, He will provide for the rest of the things we need. Sometimes, however, I think God has already provided for these needs. But in those situations, we still need to seek Him first. Seeking God first when you have all you need may be just as challenging as seeking God when you are in need.

very thankful that no matter where I may be, God provides a place for me to Bible study. ACF Summer Bible Studies may be a good thing for you to check out if you are also in need (though it should not substitute looking for a physical small group to Bible study with)!
