Blessed Beyond Measure

The Lord’s chosen and holy people are blessed beyond measure. If you are His chosen, you have been given honor above all men, even if you don’t know it. Not by what you have done but because of His rich love, mercy, and grace. Because of what the Lord has achieved for you. Rejoice, for He says, “You have already been seated in the heavenly places.” 

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace, you have been saved— and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus

so that in the coming ages He might show the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:4-9

Rejoice, for your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Your position is secure, and your foundation is solid. God will always be with you, so no one may move you or cast down your accomplishments for Jesus. He has said that your place is fixed in the heavens, and that is a promise that will not be revoked.

Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; Philippians 4:4-5 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart! Psalm 32:11

Comfort one another with these words, especially to the weak, broken, weary, and those who have lost loved ones. They need your compassion, they need your love, and they need you to reach out to them for comfort. To let them know about Jesus and His gift of Salvation. Rejoice, for you are blessed beyond measure, and He wants many more to come after you.

Finally, remember the Lord is in control, and His steadfast love endures forever. You may not always understand what He is doing or why it feels like things are going wrong. But trust Him and make your faith even more firm in the Lord Jesus Christ because He knows what is best for you, and if you are His child, He will work everything out for your good.

Save us, we pray, O LORD! O LORD, we pray, give us success! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We bless you from the house of the LORD. The LORD is God, and He has made His light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords up to the horns of the altar!

You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God; I will extol you. Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever! Psalm 118:25-29
