The other day I was riding down the road and the traffic was heavy. As I inched forward I came to an entrance to a fast food restaurant where this lady was trying to pull out. I stopped and motioned for her to go ahead but I realized she was not looking at me. She was looking at her phone so I sat there and I sat there and I sat there and she never looked up so the traffic moved and I went on because I didn't hold everybody else up.
At that moment I thought I wonder if that is what we are like with God's blessings.
Those everyday graces he sends our way but we miss them for some reason or another.
That woman was either distracted or just didn't believe she was going to ever get out so she had kinda of given up for a while.
That happens to me a lot. I pray and ask God for help but then I get busy or distracted. He sends the answer and I miss it. Or I get frustrated by his timing and the answers come and my head is down in defeat.
No matter what the reasons are.........I still miss things just like that lady missed her chance to pull out in traffic.
I don't want to miss any of God's blessings.
I pray.....
Lord,
Keep my mind focused on you. Keep me diligent in moving in your will and always aware that you are working for my good. Strengthen my faith so when I ask something of you I immediately start looking for that answer. Protect me from the time wasting activities that steal those precious moments I could be spending with you. Keep my eyes moving and my head up because that is the way I will see blessing the easiest. Make me a person who lives in anticipation of what you are going to send next.
Bless me, my family and my friends.
Lord, Bless even those who don't know you so that maybe their hearts will be won over.
Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!” And God granted what he asked.
1 Chronicles 4:10
