Unexpected Blessing“And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God.  Deuteronomy 28:2

Charles Dickens wrote, “Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many – not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.” These words are so true and oftentimes we lose sight of just how blessed we are. We get caught up in looking for the spectacular and overwhelming and miss out on the regular, ordinary blessings that are truly the spectacular blessings we seek. What type of blessings am I talking about? I’m talking about an unexpected word of encouragement from someone that you least expect it from. I’m talking about a beautiful sunset that you just happen to catch when you go to get something out of your car that you forgot. How about the smile of a child when you feel your whole world is crumbling. It’s not just about stuff that you can touch, spend, wear or drive. God’s blessings are abundant and they come in many ways. You should make it a point to look for blessings everywhere and enjoy them as they appear. Thank those that just so happen to speak wisdom in your life, stop and enjoy the moments that just so happen to appear and live the life that God has blessed you with the opportunity to live.
A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished. Proverbs 28:20

It’s easy to complain and even easier to see the bad in your situation or your life but why not instead focus on the good. Yes no matter what it looks like, there is some good in your life. You may hate your job but the good is you have one. You may not be happy in your marriage but you’re not alone. You may not have all that you want but if you have what you need it’s all good. Every day you wake up, you have been blessed and as long as you go through your day seeking the Lord, you will receive more blessings that you did not expect. Life isn’t always great but if you are still getting up in the morning you are blessed. Work on being grateful and stop focusing on the negatives in your life. Believe it or not, there is someone, somewhere, that would love to trade places with you.

You are in an awesome position to praise Him,
Minister Deidra Bibb
