GOD BLESSES HIS PEOPLE
Today’s Text: The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. (Psalm 115:12)Today’s Thoughts: The Lord has never forgotten us – we’re always on His mind. He loves us and loves to bless us. Sometimes God will grant us the blessings we’ve asked for; other times he’ll bless us in ways we had not asked. God knows about the blessings we need even when we are totally unaware of them. God cares about us so much. He will bless His people.
Today’s Testimony: I’ve mentioned before that I’m studying through UNISA. Correspondence with the university is mostly done via post, internet or phone. UNISA makes most of the past exam papers available online and I always download them. I usually download them shortly after the semester starts. I’ve always thought I’d do that just in case they decide to remove some of the older papers. I never thought that that would really happen, but now I know that it is possible.
God is so good! I haven’t always downloaded the past papers straight away, but this time the Lord made sure I did. A while before the exam period started I went to check to see if they had any newer papers available. One of the papers that I had downloaded was no longer there. The day before my last exam I went online to check because I had only three past papers for that module, and I couldn’t remember if I had had four at one stage and misplaced it. I thought that if those were the only ones they had available then I had all the papers I could, seeing I was missing the latest one. There were no past papers available – not a single one. I went to check out the online discussion forum and at one stage quite a few of the students had been asking each other for past exam papers. There were a few students that could help. I’m not sure how many papers they had though. God is so good! Those papers really helped me.
Just for those who may be wondering – the format of the paper had changed from half written and half multiple-choice to all multiple-choice. And even this fact was a total blessing. I really prefer multiple-choice exams to written ones. I’m assuming that they removed the past papers to avoid confusion due to the change in format. Although, one of the past papers was also all multiple-choice. Then it could have been the fact that past papers are often not available for multiple-choice exams, as was the case with the first exam I wrote for this semester. But whatever their reason for removing the papers, my God had His reason for getting me to download them in advance, seeing I don’t know when they were removed. God wanted to bless me when I didn’t even know I needed blessings in that area until afterwards. He blessed in the changing of the paper format, and He blessed in getting me to download the past papers in time. God is truly so good!!!
Today’s Task: Praise the Lord for His blessings. He loves to bless us. If you are in need of a blessing today – ask Him for it. If it is what is best for you, God will grant it. Be ready to count your blessings – don’t miss a single one. Remember to share testimonies of your blessings with others – they need to know how great your God is. Trust in God and be blessed.
Today’s Thanks: Lord I thank You that You love to bless Your people. I thank You for all the blessings we’ve received so far. Help us to count our blessings. Lord I thank You for all the blessings that we are totally unaware of and that we will only know about when we meet You face-to-face. Please help us to trust You to provide us with all the blessings that we need. I thank You for Your great love. I thank You that You are continually mindful of us and never forget us. Help us never to forget and forsake You. We love You Lord. Amen.
