Count your earthly comforts as blessings. Name them one by one. And it will surprise you to see what things God can take away at any moment to teach you that despite the absence of these things, he remains God and you remain his child through Christ. And that alone is unlike any earthly comfort we now have.
“Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” (Luke 12:15)
The true blessings that no thief, that no divorce, that no disease, that no bankruptcy, that no debt collector, that no court of law can take away:
“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. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.” (Ephesians 1:3-14)
All of these flow from the love of God, the same love that walked Jesus up to the cross, and pulled him back up and out of the grave. That, is the blessing to count. That is the blessing worth measuring.
Jesus is the well of the living water, the Holy Spirit.
