Day-16 Blessings in the midst
The trinkets that carry our blessings aren't always porcelain or ornate in fashion. The case that brings our miracles isn't always sturdy and bound with leather. The ship that brings us our fortune doesn't always have flowing sails on a sturdy mast. What I am trying to say is sometimes when God gives us something, it isn't always in a pretty package. Sometimes storms brew so violently in our lives that we often crumble under the pressure. We don’t make it through. When we are faced with broken bridges that seem like we will never be able to cross them, turn to God. “This too shall pass,” He will say. Let us discover the uniquely hidden blessings in our trials. He brought me this seed to grow on; sometimes we don't recognize the true blessings in our lives because they come in some hideous form of pain and suffering. The truth of the matter is God always has something for you to take away from these terrible storms. There is a valuable life lesson in every single one of them. Sometimes it is hidden and we have to look harder for it, but it is there. It's kind of cool if you think about it, we can always be learning. I think that often we forget that among all other things, our Lord is a teacher. When Jesus was on earth that is how His disciples referred to Him, as "Teacher". So appropriate. Diving head first into the curve balls of life is not the easiest thing to do. I do think it is better to do that than to not swing at them at all. Let's learn from them and uncover our hidden blessings.
“He can take every burden
He can heal every pain
He is the master physician
Praise His holy name.
When at times it is tough
This too shall pass
Let God take over
Only His healing will last.” –BJ McLarry February 23,2005
Lord, Thank you for our many blessings. You are the healer and redeemer and let us always turn to you when the storms get rough. Show us that they will always pass and that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Help us uncover what lesson we need to learn from each and every trial we are faced with. Let us uncover our hidden blessing.
