O Thou Fount Of Every Blessing
This is one of many songs that remind us we have much to be thankful for and ONE to them for them, the God of Heaven. Let’s examine some important points that singing it ought to bring to mind:
- God Is The Source Of All Blessings
- From the beginning God has blessed His creation and continues to do so (Gen. 2:8-10; Ps. 100:1-5; Lam. 3:22-23; James 1:17).
- Some of these blessings all upon all His creation (Matt. 5:45; Acts 14:15-17; 17:24-28) but His rich spiritual blessings He has planned and reserved for those in Christ (Eph. 1:3; 3:11; 2 Tim. 1:9; Phil. 3:7-14; Eph. 1:17-19).
- It Is By God That We Are Saved
- Ebenezer means a stone of help (1 Sam. 7:12), we too must recognize that it is God who has provided for our salvation (John 3:16; Rom. 5:8; Heb. 9:12; Col. 1:14).
- Man was unable to provide such for himself or put God in His debt (Titus 3:3-7; Rom. 6:23); but I must act in faithful obedience (Eph. 2:8; Titus 2:11-12; James 1:22; 2:24; Matt. 7:21; Rev. 2:10).
- I Am Indebted To God
- Recognizing what God has done should change how I live; I can’t repay my debt owed but I can show thankful-ness (Rom 1:14-17; 1 Tim 1:12-16; 2 Cor 5:14-15).
- Love should bind us to God (1 Jn 4:19; 5:3; Jn 14:15) as one who has wholly submitted and committed to God, trusting Him (2 Tim. 1;12; 2 Tim. 4:7-8; 1 John 5:13).
