How is it that the human heart is so insistent on dwelling on our pain rather than our blessings. We can have everything going for us and then the coffee has grounds in it and the dog eats the chocolate and suddenly life is bad.
I like how the King James Version says things... and Psalm 21:3 is one of those verses. For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
I imagine one of these grumpy Christians and God is preventing them with blessings but they are so focused on the fact that they are being prevented that they don't see the blessings.
But regardless of my amusement with Old English wordage, I believe the Lord has surrounded us with blessings that we never take note of because we won't open our eyes to them. We won't take our eyes off of our current discomfort and see what the Lord has for us.
