We know that the blessings of God make us rich without sorrows.
Today, which marks the first day, first week, first month and first Wednesday of this new year.
And according to our opening Scripture from Psalm 1:1;
“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; And in his law doth he meditate day and night.” (Psalm 1:1-2 KJV).
How to Abound in Blessings this new year:
1). Listen to Godly counsel.
2). Refuse to listen to or be influenced by ungodly counsel.
3). Take a stand for God, and refuse to align with those whose lives are governed by the works of the flesh (See Galatians 5:19-21 for a list)
4). Don’t support those who mock God and Godliness, such as Christian comedians who mock God and Christian virtues.
5) Delight yourself in reading the Bible and Meditating on the Words you read.
This year must be different from the past years.
You must say no to gallopy blessings- your life is not hooked to a heart monitoring machine that keeps going up and down.
You are well and alive and a RoyalPriest of God.
Your course in life must be upward and forward, and you must become stronger and stronger.
For it is written that;
“The righteous also shall hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.” ( Job 17:9 KJV)
See Proverbs 4:18 also.
In order to stay on the right course for your life, you must
work on your relationship with God.
What better way to do so, than to read your Bible daily. So that you can familiarize yourself with Who God is, His ways, His works and His mind.
All these are revealed in the pages of the Bible.

Father God, thank you for bringing us safely into this new year.
In the remaining eight days of these spiritual exercises, I ask that you touch the lives of all those who joined us. Overwhelm them with your blessings without sorrows.
We ask to experience your awesome greatness in manifold ways.
We ask also, that you will use us to display your excellence and perfection to the world, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Proceed to Psalm 2, meditate on the Word and share your thoughts on your profile page or groups.
Be a blessing!
