Who Do You Say That I am? Day TWO: I am BLESSED

 

SPIRITUAL SELF CARE



WHO DOES GOD SAY THAT I AM?
21 DAYS TO DISCOVER MYSELF THROUGH THE WORD
Day TWO: I am BLESSED




I am blessed. Truly I am, but I forget this a lot. How often do you walk around with this realization of being blessed? Are there days that you don't feel blessed at all? Or maybe you do, but distractions get the best of us and suddenly, any blessings are quickly tucked behind a slurry of problems. It is just too easy to get sidetracked. Some days, I'm like a firefighter, putting out a problem fire every way I turn. Enough! Oh, to fully acknowledge our blessings from the heavenly realms!


PRAYER
Lord, thank you for allowing me to see how this verse is truly written. Praise to the God and Father of Jesus Christ. Recognizing the Father head of the trinity allows me to see how good you are to me. Thank you that you have blessed us in the heavenly realms! Oh my Lord, I am not worthy to receive such blessings, yet you say I am. Thank you that every spiritual blessing for me is mine to have! Our sin keeps us apart from you, yet Jesus bridges this gap! I feel blessed. I will walk with a clear open mind today, knowing that all my blessings that you say are for me, come through your mighty Son. I will follow him and fellowship with him all the days forward. I now understand that you see me blessed and it pleases you. This reminder is carefully tucked in my glowing heart. Amen.

APPLICATION
I learned this little trick of breaking down the scripture verse, word by word, from Rick Warren's "40 Days in the Word." Take the verse and go through it slowly, allowing yourself to fully understand what each word means and how it applies to what God is saying. His message is so clear. It's full of amazing gifts that he has bestowed upon us! Without realizing it, we could easily pass quickly on by, not giving it a second glance. This exercise gives us pause...to take it all in from God. Do you see where certain words stand out, unlike before? ❤

SHARE
  • When you reread the verse slowly, in practice, word for word, what was revealed to you?
  • What does it mean that God has blessed us in the heavenly realms? How do we receive these through Christ?
  • Can you recall a time when you felt truly blessed? In what ways?
  • Explain why it's important to remember our blessings.

30 Day Self Care Challenge: Day TWENTY-NINE

Image
  30 Days of Self Care:  Day Twenty-Nine Emotional Self Care Emotional self care happens when we identify our feelings, allow ourselves to sit with them a while, then do something that will either support these feelings as you lean into them or exchange them for new feelings or emotions. For some moments, you will resonate with your emotions; while other times you may want to escape or avoid them. Learning to trust yourself in working through your feelings is possible. In this life, we will indeed make mistakes, but the magic happens when we walk through our scenarios, growing and maturing because of them. Sometimes, we envision ourselves doing the same things that seem to work for us, but there may be moments where you would like to envision something different. You may decide that you would like to equip yourself with a new toolset to prepare yourself when things go sideways or perhaps when you need a good dose of encouragement when things become sticky or  problematic.

  SPIRITUAL SELF CARE Can you say this again please, in my good ear? I am loved. Truly loved. Deeply loved. Always and forever loved. Better yet, I am loved by my Creator.

I am refreshed today with this biblical truth, that no matter what happens today and forward, no matter who comes in and out of my life, no matter what, I will march forward, no skip gleefully forward, knowing how much I am truly loved by you. Thank you Father. Thank you for this knowledge. Today, I recommit my life to you by simply knowing that I am lo
