Physical blessings are wonderful but spiritual blessings are far better. Our physical blessings are temporal but our spiritual blessings are secure. They are ours for eternity.

The book of Ephesians tells us that in Christ you have been blessed with every blessing in the heavenly places. The word “every” shows God’s incredible goodness to you. Below are just some of the spiritual blessings (from Ephesians chapters 1 and 2) that you have through Jesus Christ. 

You are loved.

You are chosen.

You are a part of God’s family.

You are redeemed.

You are forgiven.

You have peace with God.

You are holy and without blame.

You are sealed with the Holy Spirit.

You have been created for good works that He already prepared for you.

You have His great power working in you.

You have an inheritance.

You have hope.

Charles Spurgeon says this all so well:

“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.” 

So many blessings, so many reasons to be thankful. May your heart be full and your day blessed as you think about all your blessings in Christ.
