Friday's Daily Devotional About
the blessings of heaven… Ephesians 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. (NIV) We
all want earthly blessings. We may want what we want when we want it and we may
want it right now. However, there is only one problem with wanting what we want
when we want it right now and the problem is we may not get “it”…whatever
“it” might be. The truth is, no matter whether we have our “its” or not,
our “its” are most likely earthly in nature. In addition, our “its” are
seldom, if ever, a real blessing. Our real blessings and our greatest blessings
are in heaven. Earthly blessings can be blown away by the winds of the earth.
Heavenly blessings are eternal. Every hour of our life we have a choice about
where we put our heart, mind, and soul. If we put our heart, mind, and soul in
heaven we get heavenly rewards and heavenly blessings. If we put our heart,
mind, and soul into the things of Satan’s earth, we get Satan’s reward. We
must realize Satan’s earthly rewards do not last very long. Satan’s rewards
may last for only a few minutes. As is generally the case, we may get bored with
Satan’s rewards and want or need more of these rewards to fill up our
emptiness. We must also come to know Satan uses our emptiness and his rewards to
eat away at our soul. However, our heavenly blessings go on forever. Our
heavenly blessings are infinite and never run out. In addition, our heavenly
blessings restore our soul. Praise God for our heavenly blessings.
