COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS (HYMN WITH LYRICS)

Описание: COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS (with lyrics) - Traditional Hymn | Johnson Oatman Jr. (1897) | Scriptura Songs

"Count your blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord hath done!" 🙏

One of the most practical hymns ever written — "Count Your Blessings" offers timeless wisdom for discouragement, worry, and comparison. Written by Johnson Oatman Jr. in 1897, this hymn has helped millions shift their focus from problems to blessings, from what's missing to what God has already done.

The genius is its simplicity: when you're tempest-tossed, discouraged, burdened with care — STOP and count your blessings. "Name them one by one." Be specific. And the promise is beautiful: "it will surprise you what the Lord hath done."

This hymn acknowledges real difficulties — billows, heavy crosses, conflicts great and small — but offers a proven remedy: gratitude shifts perspective. The third verse tackles comparison, a struggle as current as social media. When you see others with "lands and gold," remember: Christ has promised you wealth money can't buy. The final verse brings peace: "God is over all." He'll be with you to your journey's end.

📖 SCRIPTURES:
• Psalm 103:2 — "Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits."
• 1 Thessalonians 5:18 — "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
• Philippians 4:6-7 — "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
• James 1:17 — "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights."

💭 REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
• When was the last time you literally sat down and counted your blessings, naming them one by one?
• What burden or discouragement do you need to bring to God in prayer, along with gratitude for what He's already done?
• How does eternal perspective (reward in heaven, home on high) change how you view your current struggles?

🙏 PRAYER: "Lord, forgive me for focusing on what I don't have instead of thanking You for what I do. Help me count my blessings and name them one by one. When I'm discouraged, remind me of Your faithfulness. When I compare myself to others, give me eternal perspective. You are over all, and You will be with me to my journey's end. Help me live in gratitude. In Jesus' name, Amen."
