“Blessed” is more than just a popular social media hashtag. It’s a way of life for believers. God’s word is clear about the countless ways believers are blessed, even in difficult times. When our attitude is aligned with the truth that we are blessed, it makes us as joyful as sibling band CAIN. Their latest song “I’m So Blessed” is a fun one, reminding us that we are blessed no matter what. Find out more about the story behind the song, plus more about the blessings God pours out on His kids!
THE STORY BEHIND “I’M SO BLESSED”
Much like yourself, CAIN went through a season of feeling not-so-blessed when they were supposed to be on a huge tour in 2020. Here’s what Logan, Taylor and Madison shared in their story behind the song:
One year ago (2020), we were going on our first ever tour, in a tour bus, sharing it with We the Kingdom and Zach Williams, and we just kept looking at each other saying, "I'm so blessed!"
Unfortunately things took a bit of a sarcastic turn. We had about 80 shows canceled last year, and every time we get a new one, I'm like, [sarcastically] "I'm so blessed."
Everything felt like it was bad, but we had to make an attitude adjustment. It was amazing to watch the blessing of God in our lives. We didn't deserve it then. Now we super don't deserve it, and thank you, God, for doing things your way and not ours.
When you're listening to "I'm so blessed," I hope that you can take your focus and just bring it out. Don't worry about the circumstances, think about my heart beating, I'm breathing, I'm alive, I'm healthy, I have friends, family and I have Jesus in my heart. That's all that matters.
WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT HOW HE BLESSES US
All throughout God’s Word, we see the ways He blesses those who follow Him. God blessed Israel with victory in battle, and even the punishments that lead the wayward nation back to Him were a form of blessing. God also continues to bless us with by meeting all our physical needs as we seek His kingdom (Matthew 6:33). As you’ll see in the song “I’m So Blessed,” you are also blessed with contentment and joy as you focus on all He does for you.
There’s one passage in Scripture that lists off so many of the blessings God provides for believers. Check out this section of Ephesians.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us.
Did you catch all that? If you belong to the Lord, you’ve got ALL the spiritual blessings. You are chosen, holy, blameless, loved, adopted, redeemed, forgiven and lavished in grace! If you weren’t feeling like singing along with “I’m So Blessed” before, surely you do now!
I'M SO BLESSED VIDEO AND LYRICS
I’m so blessed (I’m so blessed)
Hallelujah, I’m blessed
I’m so blessed (I’m so blessed)
Hallelujah, I’m blessed
Trouble knocking at my door today
I ain’t gonna let it in
And worry wanna steal my joy away
But I ain’t gonna let it win
‘Cause on my best day, I’m a child of God
On my worst day, I’m a child of God
Oh, every day is a good day
And You’re the reason why
I’m so blessed, I’m so blessed
Got this heartbeat in my chest
No, it doesn’t matter about the rest
If I got You Lord, I’m so blessed
And when I count the problems that I see
Hope looks all, but gone (yeah)
But when I count the ways You’re good to me
You got me counting all day long
