Today's reading: Luke 1-2
"Don't be frightened, Mary, the angel told her, for God has decided to bless you!" Luke 1:30 NLT
Have you ever been frightened by one of God's blessings?
Something happened into your life at what you considered a wrong time or in a wrong way, but ended up being perfectly within God's timing--a true blessing?
Someone woven into the fabric of your life at a very low point, a valley you wish you had never visited, but ended up becoming a lifelong friend from God--a true blessing?
Decided to literally make yourself attend services one Sunday, not feeling it, not in the right frame of mind, but going anyway and receiving a word from the Lord that was specifically for your heart--a true blessing?
God's blessings can be wrapped up in circumstances that can scare the liver out of us if it weren't for His graces and mercies tenderly and gently delivering them into our lives.
I challenge you to be on the look out for them today--in all things, good and bad.
