The Gift of a Thousand Blessings

Have you ever given thought to all the blessings in what we often consider the mundane?

Mundane:

lacking interest or excitement; dull:

As a matter of fact there are thousands of blessings that exist in our lives to just be able to get in the car and head off to work in the morning.

What was your first sense upon waking? Well you woke up, did you hear the alarm? (You could hear) What did you see first? (You could see) Did you wake up in a warm and dry home? How many blessings had to be given just for that to happen?

What about that alarm clock, or the coffee you are drinking or the running water you have, have you ever contemplated all the blessings that went into them?

All the people that had a hand in making the materials in the clock, the design of each and every component, the making of the materials it’s made of, the labor to assemble it, and all those that had to be involved in its availability to you? How many creations of God went into just the existence of your alarm clock?

Mundane? I think not! (I’m about to give you a glimpse of what truly goes into the simplest of things we take for granted. Some might say this is an in-depth study on the logistics of water but it’s all about God's hand)

I'm going to try and explain the difference between the Spiritual and the mundane.

There is a verse in an old Hymn that says “count your many blessings, count them one by one” oh we may once in a great while run through a course list only thinking of the big things and giving thanks, but do you realize the abundance of blessings and workings of God's hand in every single aspect of our daily lives?

I’m going to address one single thing that we all take for granted and attempt to show just how amazing God's hand is in our daily existence.

Water, you walk to the sink expecting to open the faucet and depending on one you open hot or cold water to begin flowing out never giving it a second thought. Consider what had to take place for that simple task to become reality.

God created the water, that’s the obvious thing. God also created the man or men that had the vision to come up with a way to move that water from one place to another, that vision became a drawing and the drawing a design, probably a collaboration with others created by god.

The paper that the design was written on began as a learned method of minds created by God, from trees created by God.

(Allow me to jump forward to modern day and skip how it all got started, and just scratch the surface of all that took place just to have running water in our homes)

Just to have water come from the faucet you just turned on, many great blessings had to happen. Men had to design all the equipment and tooling required to drill the well or pull the water from a reliable source, all that equipment and tooling had to be designed and produced.

The materials for all that, including the pipes, valves and pumps had to be mined by men created by God. The ore that was created by God had to be melted and poured, then cast in foundries and machined in shops that were built by men created by God.

Then those products had to be assembled in factories that again had to be designed and built of materials that God created by men created by God. The pipes produced,the faucets formed and assembled the same way all by that which was given by God.

The pipes joined and ditches dug by men and equipment all by the hand of God's creation. Eventually the water runs from the faucet that we overlook each and every day. We take these things as natural when in reality it is Supernatural.

So count your many blessings, count them one by one, remembering there is far more than meets the eye that only by the Grace of God we enjoy every day! So there is nothing truly mundane but all wonders of God's hand that we so often overlook.

I pray this writing gives you pause to think about all the blessings in our daily lives and causes you to be thankful every day!
