Blessings

19 November 2011

blessings  noun:
  1. God's favor and protection.
  2. A prayer asking for such favor and protection.
  3. a short prayer of thanksgiving before or after a meal; grace

So often, we tend to think of blessings as the bestowal of God’s gift or favor.  Blessings create happiness or contentment, right?  Not necessarily…  Laura Story’s song (with it’s beautiful and thought-provoking lyrics), helps us redefine how we understand the word “blessings”.   

What if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near…

What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise…

Although we may not know the outcome of our trials or circumstances, God does.  Through times of suffering, grief, or even uncertainty, let us choose to walk more intimately with the One who promises, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you.” 

Whatever trials you’re facing today, I pray you find peace and hope in the arms of Christ.
