—Jude 1:14-23

Do you ever wake up during the night and have a hard time getting back to sleep? Sometimes, when that happens, I begin praying for people as God puts their names and situations into my mind. Sometimes, I recount the many blessings that are mine. In both cases, it doesn’t take very long, and I am back asleep. The song says, “Count your blessings instead of sheep…” An old, favorite hymn says, “Count your blessings, name them one by one. It will surprise you what the Lord has done.” Are we so quick to ask God for things and then slow to thank him for the answers and the blessings?
