Blessings of God

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. (Ephesians 1:3)


In today's materialistic world, where sadly a majority of Christians have expectations from God that have been conditioned by the thinking of the world, this beautiful thought from Spurgeon comes as a refreshing breath of fresh air.


Our thanks are due to God for all temporal blessings; they are more than we deserve. But our thanks ought to go to God in thunders of hallelujahs for spiritual blessings. 

A new heart is better than a new coat. 
To feed on Christ is better than to have the best earthly food. 
To be an heir of God is better than being the heir of the greatest nobleman. 
To have God for our portion is blessed, infinitely more blessed than to own broad acres of land. 

God hath blessed us with spiritual blessings. These are the rarest, the richest, the most enduring of all blessings; they are priceless in value.

- Charles Spurgeon
