Anyone ready for spring? I am! Ready for the spring “feel”, ready for the smell of spring, ready for spring flowers and the buds on the trees!!!! Well, not quite yet! We are in for another winter storm, at least that is what they are saying for us to watch out for……oh, well….it will give us an opportunity to appreciate the springtime and His blessings all the more 🙂 🙂 🙂
I am going to real honest here and tell you I even like to hear the word “blessings”. It is a beautiful word…..here is what I find when I look up the definition…
bless·ing
noun
: approval that allows or helps you to do something
: help and approval from God
: something that helps you or brings happiness
and
Full Definition of BLESSING

2
: a thing conducive to happiness or welfare
3
: grace said at a meal
See? Nothing negative…..in a world full of negative, the word “blessing” has all positive wrapped up into it……I love it! Then today when reading the word, I came across Psalm 89: 15 ” Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord. “
And it hit me again…..the Word says allot “Blessed are those who……” but this hit me today because God has been talking to me about 2014 being the year to practice praising Him and walking in His presence and what joy that would bring to His people! That was confirmation and what a beautiful confirmation it was! 🙂
When we learn to walk in His presence…..meaning as a way of life, not just 5 minutes or 15 minutes a day as devotion but as we “do our day”….throughout our day……….it was interesting that the Word doesn’t say sit in His presence, but it says walk in His presence………..
It also say those who have learned to acclaim Him…….I looked up synonyms of acclaim…….praise, applaud, cheer, commend, approve, welcome, celebrate………
So, let’s be blessed!!!! Let’s learn to celebrate Him……to Praise Him……continuously…..turn worship music on….fill our houses with it….our cars with it……our hearts with it………. and really exalt Him for who He is in our lives and let’s learn even more to WALK continuously everyday with Him IN His presence, and the BLESSINGS will continuously be overflowing our cup!!!! 🙂
Be blessed today in His presence!
