What A Blessing

What an amazing event touched my heart recently. God sure likes to bless us, even when we are not asking for it.

I pulled up to a major traffic intercession at the light. It contained five lanes. As I pulled up to the car in front of me and stopped, I looked right and there was Barney. I was so blessed to see him. He smiled and waved and then pointed across to my left, and lo and behold there was Al! Two mighty men of God were on either side. Now I really got excited. What a blessing plus!

Psalm 86:10: For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

It confirmed in my heart the endearing connection our Heavenly Father has with us.

1John 5:20: And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Why did it happen? I do not believe this was some co-incident. I wonder if God just gets a kick out of blessing us. I know it is kind of neat to surprise my kids in an unexpected way, but God surpassed Himself with this loving gesture.

Psalm 77:14: Thou art the God that doest wonders: …

We will grow in our believing when we accept the spiritual realities over the fleshly stuff.

When the Father had the three of us arrive at a busy signal light intersection to the point we came exactly side by side, it blew our hearts!

Psalm 57:2b: ….unto God that performeth all things for me.

What did I learn from this? I know that my Father is working to bless me all the time. Look for it. Expect it. Believe in it. He is so awesome!

Psalm 52:9: I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.

Agape,

Bob

Psalm 62:5: My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
