Every hour of every day, God is richly blessing us; both when we sleep and when we wake His mercy waits upon us.

Our Light Affliction Which Is but for a Moment
We are such weaklings and suffering “martyrs” when even one leg hurts or a small sore swells that we can fill heaven and earth with cries and howls, grumbling and cursing. We do not see what a tiny evil such a small thing is, compared to the countless blessings that God provides. Snorers that we are, God lets us experience these minor troubles so that we may be awakened from our deep sleep and be driven by knowledge and realization to consider what would happen if the great and countless blessings present to us disappeared because God’s favor turned away from us.
Martin Luther, Commentary on Psalm 118

Wanting God for His Blessings and Not Himself
If men’s affection to God is founded first on His profitableness to them, their affection begins at the wrong end; they regard God only for the utmost limit of the stream of divine good, where it touches them and reaches their interest, and have no respect to that infinite glory of God’s nature which is the original good, and the true foundation of all good, the first foundation of all true love.
Blessed beyond Measure
However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.
