Psalm 103:1-22 (ASV)
1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy desire with good things, So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
6 Jehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel.
8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.
9 He will not always chide; Neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins, Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children’s children;
18 To such as keep his covenant, And to those that remember his precepts to do them.
19 Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens; And his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22 Bless Jehovah, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion: Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

Are blessings countable? Have you ever taken account of the blessings of God in your life? How many can you count?
Or are you one of those who thinks “what has God done for me?
Many think God hasn’t done anything for them or what they expect Him to do.
Blessings are mostly benefits, that are either underserved or unasked for! Our blessings are usually a source of further blessing to others. The blessing of God encompasses the spiritual, physical, material, emotional, financial, and much, more. God is often the agent of blessing in every sense, and we are always asking God for all sorts of blessings.
The Lord uses others mostly to bless us- we may receive blessings from unseemly people in sometimes unexpected places for unexplainable reasons.
Psalm 103 is a psalm of joyous praise, in which the writer rises from a thankful acknowledgment of personal blessings to a lively celebration of God’s gracious attributes, as not only intrinsically worthy of praise but as specially suited to man’s frailty.
This contains the most affectionate sentiments of gratitude to God for his mercies; and the need to continue to trust in God and be obedient to him.
So, praise the Lord with songs of thanksgiving and victory for the blessing of the past years and for the year ahead.
Count your blessings- Inherent in blessing is the idea of invocation special favor on a person that appreciated and loved. God will often bring about blessings for his people that amount to a thorough transformation—both literal and spiritual.
God crowns our lives with His goodness and makes our paths to drip with fatness (success. Prosperity and more) according to Psalm 65:11.
Did you wake yourself up this morning? Do you think your alarm did? He’s the same God in the morning, noon, and night, from the rising of the sun to its setting, says Psalm 113:3-this is a countable blessing, count it as one.
What the Lord has done for me, I cannot tell it all…. keep counting and keep telling and testifying to put the enemy to shame.
So, shout hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
Christians have access to every blessing in Christ, God’s provision, and favors. The blessing package described in Deuteronomy 28 are many: blessings wherever you are or whatever you do; blessings in your family, with your work, and in your possessions; victory over your enemies; blessings of being established as God’s holy people. And accordingly, all these blessings shall come on you, and overtake you, if you will hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God.”
Look back from 2020 to today and count your blessings.
Romans 8:37-38-all All things worked out for you, even if not as you planned, wanted, or more- you’re alive and well. You conquered Corona, sickness, homelessness, hunger, and many more not by your power or might but by the Spirit of God. Glory be to God!
If anything is missing from your list of prayer requests, go to God with thanksgiving and praise, according to 1 Thessalonians 5:18, and be assured that there’s plenty for you in 2022. We can trust and expect God to lead us into His will for greater things in the new year? So, count your blessings! And more will follow.
Shalom
