Littered With Blessings
It is good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to Your Name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night...
Psalm 92:1-2

Psalm 68:19-20
Police in Ohio responded to an unusual call earlier this year. Motorists along Route 23 near Columbus reported seeing large amounts of money scattered alongside the highway. Although the exact amount wasn't announced, sources close to the case said it amounted to tens of thousands of dollars. Officials have no idea where the money came from.
That story is reminiscent of the blessings in our lives. Just like the cash littering the highway, blessings are often unexpected and many times are overlooked.
The highway of life isn't free of obstacles or traffic jams. Sometimes there are exhausting grades and precipitous curves. But God litters our way with blessings. The psalmist proclaimed, "Blessed be the Lord,
who daily loads us
with benefits" (Psalm 68:19a).
Perhaps today we need to slow down and, with song and solitude, ponder how blessed we are. Tens of thousands of blessings attend our way. Goodness and mercy follow us all our days.
When God draws the curtain...mercy streams in on the sunbeam. When He shuts the eyelids of the day...it is mercy that...bids us rest.
He "daily loadeth us with benefits."Charles Spurgeon
