Christian Commentary Encouraging Devotions

"I have moments when I curse the rain
Then complain when the sun's too hot
I look around at what everyone has
And I forget about all I've got

But I know I'm a lucky man
God's given me a pretty fair hand
Got a house and a piece of land
A few dollars in a coffee can
My old truck's still running good
My ticker's ticking like they say it should
I got supper in the oven, a good woman's loving
And one more day to be my little kid's dad
Lord knows I'm a lucky man

Got some friends who would be here fast
I could call 'em any time of day
Got a brother who's got my back
Got a mama who I swear's a saint
Got a brand new rod and reel
Got a full week off this year
Dad had a close call last spring
It's a miracle he's still here

But I know I'm a lucky man

Yeah, I'm a lucky man
I'm a lucky, lucky man"

-Montgomery Gentry

I prefer to be a blessed man.

Tucked in Deuteronomy 2:7 is how God looks after us even when we goof up and have to wander around in the wilderness for forty years.

For the Lord your God has blessed you in everything you have done.

He has watched your every step through this great wilderness.

During these forty years, the Lord your God has been with you, and you have lacked nothing.

And He's looking after our future, too.

Do not be afraid of the _____________ (fill in the blank with your particular fear),

for the Lord your God will fight for you. Deuteronomy 3:22

Yeah, I'm a blessed man
I'm a blessed, blessed man.

The key to living a blessed life will follow in days to come, Lord willing.
