Episode Description
P.L.E.A.S.E. (Mighty Moment Episode: 1.013)
In the previous Mighty Moment episode (#1.012) we talked about a concept I call "Blessing Blindness” which is when we fail to see the many blessings God gives us. These reminders of His blessings are all around us but we often overlook them.
Today, we continue that discussion by addressing what we can do to avoid, prevent and heal “Blessing Blindness”. Using the acronym P-L-E-A-S-E we learn how to address “Blessing Blindness” and learn how to notice, appreciate and enjoy the blessings of God in our life. I will also give a scripture for each step.
Pray to see the blessings in your life (Pray). Ask the Lord to open your eyes to see those hidden items all around to be thankful for.
"Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3
Look for blessings in your life (Pursue). Be intentional about looking for the blessings every day.
"Open my eyes, that I may see Wondrous things..." - Psalm 119:18
Enjoy the blessings in your life (Partake). Take time to relish the blessings when you notice them. Taste and enjoy the blessings. Pause and smell the roses.
"This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it." - Psalm 118:24
Appreciate the blessings in your life (Praise). Beyond enjoying the blessings yourself, take a moment to thank God for giving them to you.
But “he who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” - 2 Corinthians 10:17-18
Share the blessings in your life with others (Pass Them Along). Don’t be selfish with your blessings but share them with others by letting others enjoy them as well. The blessing grows by sharing. Once you learn how to see the blessings. Once you become a natural at noticing God’s gems and seeing the silver lining… teach others how to do it.
"...And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’" - Acts 20:35
Exercise the process - Repeat the above process to get better and better at it. The more you practice the more this will become a natural and instinctual thing to do. (Practice)
"Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" - Philippians 4:4
So friends, Ask the Lord to open your eyes to see the blessings in your life and savor those blessings. Thank God for blessing you and share the blessings in your life with others. Do this every day and repeat this process again and again. I invite you to search for the blessings that are all around you… PLEASE!
Blessings my friends and I pray you have a mighty moment with God today!
Dr. Bobby
