Bothered?

What is a blessing from God?

Is it a new car? Is it a salary increase? Is it restored health?

Is it compassion? Is it mercy? Is it love?

Is it all of the above?

I think we are far too glib when we speak of God's blessings. This bothers me.

The fact that I am uncertain about what a blessing from God truly is, bothers me.

Doesn't anyone else wonder about these things?

...or am I the only who bothers?

Well, in James 1:11 we're told that anything good comes from God. This is why David says, "This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it." I think a good measuring stick would be if it's good, it's a blessing. James
