Spiritual Blessings
“The sea of God’s mercies should swallow up all our little afflictions.” Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and that quote is from Martin Luther. It’s like if you have a pail of water and throw it on the floor, it makes a great show, but if you throw it into the sea, there is no sign of it. The same is true with our problems. To us, our trials seem so overwhelming; it’s all we see. But if we compare them to the many spiritual blessings we receive, then, those trials diminish. Ephesians chapter 1 assures us of that, “Jesus Christ has blessed us with every spiritual blessing.” Did you get that? Every spiritual blessing.
Friend, a spiritual blessing is a depth of trust in God that will see you through the toughest of trials. Look, you’ve been given so many blessings, so today, let the sea of God’s mercies swallow up your little pail of problems.
