My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

JANUARY The Sixth |COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS|

PSALM cv.1-15.

|Count your blessings!| Yes, but over what area shall I look for them? There is my personal life. Let me search in every corner. I have found forget-me-nots on many a rutty road. I have found wild-roses behind a barricade of nettles. Professor Miall has a lecture on |The Botany of a Railway Station.| He found something graceful and exquisite in the midst of its soot and grime. So I must look even in the dark patches of life, among my disappointments and defeats, and even there I shall find tokens of the Lord's presence, some flowers of His planting.

And there is my share in the life of the nation. |Ye seed of Abraham His servant, ye children of Jacob His chosen.| There are hands that stretch out to me from past days, laden with bequests of privilege and freedom. Our feet |stand in a large place,| and the place was cleared by the fidelity and the courage of the men of old. I have countless blessings that were bought with blood. The red marks of sacrifice are over all my daily ways. Let me not take the inheritance and overlook the blood marks, and stride about as though it were nought but common ground. Mercies abound on every hand! |Count your blessings!|
