Beyond Computation!!! (1 of 5)
Part of our school requirements was to learn various subjects. One such subject was math.
We learned the simplest on through the more complexity of math applications.
However, our subject "Beyond (Further than, past, outside of) Computation" (Calculation, totaling, working out) ushers us into a dimension that even the greatest of Mathematicians could never learn.
References of this sort or inabilities can only relate to our experiences with our great, big, incomprehensible Heavenly Father.
Whether we admit it or not, own up to it or are not willing to give God the glory, each of us has the testimony of the following Scripture:
Psalm 40:5-O LORD my God, you have performed many wonders for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. You have no
equal. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them (NLT).
|

Since the count of them began when we were in our Mother's womb, none of us can ever calculate or give
a sum total of all of the wonderful deeds WHICH DADDY GOD has performed in our lives.
Every moment that we are kept emotionally, physically, and spiritually sound adds to that total, as
well as those times we have trouble, because we have the presence of God's love with us.
In addition, because of the magnitude of blessings and wonderful deeds from God, which we have
experienced, we really should feel ungrateful when we complain and cry because we encounter the humps and bumps of life.
We are already forewarned of experiencing them in
Psalms 34:19- Many hardships and perplexing circumstances confront the righteous, But the Lord rescues him from them all (Amp Bible).
|
Beyond Computation ( 3 of 5)
However, our focus can't be on our hardships for that will blind us to the "Beyond Computation" of blessings we experience in our lives.
If we focus on our problems rather than the PROBLEM-SOLVER (DADDY-God), our testimony will be
Psalm 88:9-My eyes are blinded by my tears. Each day I beg for your help, O LORD; I lift my hands to you for mercy (NLT).
Then, we will also have the nerves to wonder why family and friends run the other direction when they see us.
It is because everyone has problems.
No one is exempt, which is why we don't have the energy to entertain the constant and hopeless cries of others.
Rather, each of us has every reason to be hopeful, peaceful and rejoicing people IN THE MIDST OF THE PROBLEMS WE EXPERIENCE.
This is because Daddy-God has already validated His LOVING AND COMPASSIONATE existence with us.
|
He has confirmed the reality of who He is to each of us, whether that validation is accepted or not by each person.
The lyrics by Johnson Oatman, Jr, who penned the hymn "Count Your Blessings" gives us an uplifting
focus and remedy for when we are feeling hopeless and discouraged.
When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
|
(The lyrics by Johnson Oatman, Jr, who penned the hymn "Count Your Blessings )
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly, And you will keep singing as the days go by.
When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings-*money cannot buy [*wealth can never buy]
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.
So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.
Even as we count our many blessings, we still won't be able to list them all because they are "Beyond Computation".
Therefore, do ENCOURAGE YOURSELF by what you have already experienced, knowing that there is definitely more to come!
God bless you.
