A Blessing is such a wonderful thing, it will have you floating feeling like your on cloud 9 , like nothing can ever bring you down. Thats exactly what a blessing is designed to do! It's imperative to keep our eyes open for our blessings they come in any way shape or form. There's a firmilar scripture that comes to mind you may have heard this scripture many times "write the vision and make it plain". I can only speak for me when I say hearing this verse I'll write out my plans pray about them and sometimes forget about the list due to life's business. I tuck it away thinking " I took it too God he heard my prayers I'm all set". To the contrary that list is not only for God but it is for our selves. Yes he has heard our prayers no doubt. Often we pray for things, for people for situations and don't give a second thought to them after there out in the atmosphere. Then all of a sudden seems like life has taken a turn for the worst. The sun has been covered up with clouds,every bill in the world shows up, kids acting up, spouse acting up, works getting on your nerves and your left scratching your head thinking "whats happening"? My dear you are now in the mist of your Blessing! Trials come to make us strong, it not only teaches us a lesson but the initial coming out of the storm increases faith. Why its important to "write the vision" or keep note of what you've prayed? Because you don't want to miss the manifestation. Life can and will keep us busy, especially when theres trouble around. We can get so overwhelmed by the situation and finding its solution. It's now hard to see the seeds you have planted starting to grow. The enemy comes to distract and to steal our joy. I speak from my personal experience, when you have God on your side and you have faith even in troubled times ,you remain greatful I mean for the good the bad and the ugly, seek the positive in every situation. God will carry the burden for you and make the transition so much easier than the stress and anxiety we put on ourselves.
Ill give you and example :
I was praying for a loved one to come to christ and to change some ways in there life. Time went on and I didn't see the miraculous complete make over . I began to get frustrated and feel like maybe I haven't prayied the right prayer or it just may not happen. Now I know better than that! My problem was I became so focused on the total package which for me was the person being totally transformed completely "fixed". I missed the small victories. Those moments where that person had begun to change things here and there. It's important to remember change is a processes. I was reminded of my journey and the many times I had too repeat the test! Back then I didn't get it I just thought my luck was bad but when my eyes where opened I do my best to pass the test the first time. So my point is when you pray when you right your list revisit it from time to time for your self and to get an update from God. Know that In the mist of a blessing celebrating the small victories is what will keeps you encouraged. There what keeps you while you wait for the grand finale. Know that trouble is designed to make us pray some won't pray unless trouble comes there way. Victory is always there ! I heard these words recently in church service " failure doesn't mean your finished just delayed! Failure is not final!
