“The Lord has been mindful of us: He will bless us. He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great” (Psalm 115:12-13).

Like you, from time to time I find myself thinking back over the situations of my life. I can testify with the Psalmist of old that God has indeed blessed me. I am one of the servants that knows that I am small, but the blessings have been great. On the morning that I wrote this Daily Prescription, Karen and I spent a little time after breakfast talking about the many ways that God has blessed us. From the deepest times of profound sorrow to the times of extreme joy, we can testify that God has blessed us. The best part is that the blessings come not because we are so good. Rather, they come because our God is so good and we fear Him.

For today: How about you? Do you know the blessing of the Lord? It begins with fearing Him, and there are no shortcuts around it!
