DAILY VERSE
Let them give thanks to the LORD for His unfailing love
and His wonderful deeds for men,
for He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
Psalm 107:8–9
DAILY QUOTE
How many times do we miss God’s blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?

DAILY THOUGHT
A poverty-stricken elderly woman in Europe complained that her wealthy son in America was cruel and ungrateful. “Does he never send you any money?” a friend asked. “Never a penny,” she replied. “He sends me pictures quite often, but I do not need pictures; I need money.” The friend said, “Do you have any of these pictures?” “Oh, yes, I have them all. They are here in the old Bible.” When she pulled them out, her friend gasped. The “pictures” were fresh, crisp fifty- and hundred-dollar bills, a huge and generous gift at the turn of the nineteenth century.
In order to enjoy our blessings, we first have to realize what we have. We might be sulking in squalor while we are surrounded by abundance. Are you missing any blessings in your life? Have you allowed misplaced values to rob you of the abundance God has given you?
Lord, open my eyes to see the gifts You have given me. Amen.
