soul journey 
Every day, God pours out blessings into our lives—some big, some small, many so gentle and consistent that we don’t even notice them. A sunrise through your window, a kind word from a stranger, an unexpected moment of peace in a busy day—these aren’t just happy coincidences or “good luck.” They are evidence of God’s hand, moving in love and grace. But to truly see them, we must learn to look through spiritual eyes.
When we allow ourselves to view life not just through our physical senses, but through a heart tuned to God’s presence, everything begins to change. The ordinary becomes sacred. The mundane becomes miraculous. And the things we once labeled as our own achievement or simple chance are suddenly revealed as gifts from a good and loving Father.
Recognizing the Blessings Around You
To see God’s blessings clearly, we need to slow down and shift our focus. Scripture reminds us in James 1:17:
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”
God’s blessings are not reserved for monumental events or mountaintop moments. They show up in daily graces: food on the table, laughter with a friend, strength to face a hard day, and even in the lessons learned through trials. When we pause to reflect on our day—really reflect—we start to notice how much we’ve been given.
It helps to keep a heart of humility. Sometimes we believe we’ve earned certain things: our job, our home, our achievements. But even the ability to work, to think, to create, to grow—all come from God. Deuteronomy 8:18 reminds us:
“But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth…”
What we often call “luck” is frequently just God’s favor. What we think we “deserve” may be mercy wrapped in grace. When we recognize this, we begin to view every part of our life with fresh eyes and a grateful heart.
What Can We Do to See with Spiritual Eyes?
- Practice Daily Gratitude
Make it a habit to thank God for the little things. Write down three blessings every day. Over time, this shifts your focus from what’s missing to what’s abundant. - Slow Down and Reflect
Life moves fast. Take time each day to pause—whether in prayer, journaling, or quiet thought—and ask yourself, “Where did I see God today?” - Stay in the Word
The Bible sharpens our spiritual vision. Scriptures open our hearts and minds to the truth of God’s goodness and help us see our life through His promises. - Give Glory to God
When good things happen, resist the urge to pat yourself on the back alone. Acknowledge God as the source. This isn’t about denying your efforts—it’s about recognizing who makes those efforts fruitful. - Remember the Past Faithfulness of God
When doubt or discouragement creeps in, recall all the times God has carried you, answered prayers, and provided in ways only He could. As Psalm 103:2 says: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.”
A Heart Open to More Blessings
Something powerful happens when we live with spiritual awareness: we become more receptive. Our gratitude becomes a magnet for more joy, more peace, and more of God’s presence. Not because we’re trying to earn blessings, but because our hearts are aligned with the Giver. When we acknowledge His hand in our lives, we become faithful stewards of His gifts—and He trusts us with more.
Psalm 34:8 says:
“Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.”
Blessings multiply in the life of the one who sees them, receives them humbly, and responds with praise.
Final Thought
Ask God today to open your spiritual eyes. Invite Him to make you more aware of His goodness, even in the smallest moments. When you begin to see life this way—not through scarcity or self-sufficiency, but through the lens of grace—your heart will overflow with gratitude, and your life will reflect the beauty of walking in step with your Creator.
“Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.”
—Psalm 119:18
