The Deaf Devo from The Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States "Everyday Blessings" Bible Reading: Psalm 103:1-8 for Sunday, January 1st, 2017Psalm 103:(0) By David:
(1) Bless Adonai, my soul!
Everything in me, bless his holy name!
2 Bless Adonai, my soul,
and forget none of his benefits!
3 He forgives all your offenses,
he heals all your diseases,
4 he redeems your life from the pit,
he surrounds you with grace and compassion,
5 he contents you with good as long as you live,
so that your youth is renewed like an eagle’s.
6 Adonai brings vindication and justice
to all who are oppressed.
7 He made his ways known to Moshe,
his mighty deeds to the people of Isra’el.
8 Adonai is merciful and compassionate,
slow to anger and rich in grace.

January can be very cold and snowy in Iowa. The landscape is a combination of white and brown. But every January, God blesses us at Deaf Missions with some bright spots of color.
During January we see many beautiful red cardinals gather in the trees around the Deaf Missions building. These bright spots of red are easy to see against the brown trees and white ground. The cardinals are so beautiful!
God blesses us in so many ways every day. I call these cardinals "everyday blessings." Often we do not notice these blessings, but when we do, they remind us of God's kindness and His plan for our lives.
Our Bible verses today tell us that God "gives us plenty of good things" (verse 5a). I challenge you in 2017 to look around and notice all the good things that God has given you. Then thank Him for these everyday blessings! -Jo Krueger
"My soul, praise the Lord! Every part of me, praise his holy name! My soul, praise the Lord and never forget how kind he is! The Lord is kind and merciful. He is patient and full of love."[Psalm 103:1-2, 8]
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for all the wonderful things You have made for me to enjoy. In Jesus' name. Amen.
