The Bible encourages believers to count their blessings, as seen in Psalm 139 and various passages affirming God's continual care and benefits.
The Bible instructs believers to actively acknowledge and count their blessings as a form of gratitude and acknowledgment of God's goodness. Psalm 139, for instance, highlights how God's thoughts towards His people are numerous and precious. David expresses in verses 17-18 how overwhelming God's thoughts towards him are, indicating that reflecting on God's benefits can lead to greater joy and a lesser focus on troubles. This practice can remind us of God's consistent provision and love, reinforcing our faith and gratitude even amidst difficulties.
