Blessings Aren’t Always a Miracle.

In my work I often ask the Lord to bless certain things.  The intent is that I might render my employer a good service.  Much like the floating Axe head story.  But often His response is curious, “no”.  Then he whispers to me that to bless the company is to bless its owners.  If they are in His will, then the blessing will flow.  But all things such are done by a wise God.  He alone knows how to redeem.  The strain of this world will pull and pull.  Things break down.  Stresses continue to come.  But He alone knows the heart.  “It is enough that My people work earnestly and with a full heart.  The blessings come as I direct.”

 

By His Grace.

Father, Glorify Yourself in This Man.


Father in Heaven, bless this place of testimony with the power of Your Holy Hand.  Bless it to the hearts of those who would find You.  Protect it from those who would tear at Your testimony.  Drench this place with the dew of Your Power.  By the blood of Your Holy Son I pray.

Amen

By His Grace.
