day no. 15,346: counting and recounting

"Let us for a moment recount those precious things which are a delight to our souls, telling them over as misers count their gold." - Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

Someone who loves their money can easily spend their time counting and recounting every dollar and cent. They do this because they want to guarantee they haven't misplaced a single penny. They do this because they delight to take a census of their treasure. It is natural. We count and recount what we highly value. 

If a miser can take such care to count and recount his gold, we can take such care to count and recount the blessings of God in the inexhaustible vault of His treasure. 

Ephesians 1:3-10
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as He chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us for adoption to Himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will, to the praise of His glorious grace, with which He has blessed us in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, which He lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which He set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in Him, things in heaven and things on earth.
