DOUBLE BLESSING FOR OUR TROUBLE

Zechariah 9:12 (Nkjv) Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
(Nlt) I promise this very day that I will repay two blessings for each of your troubles.

I was at a Table Top sale recently when I wasn't too well, so not thinking very clearly, and bought one big and two little remote helicopters for £17 from a lady who said they were brand new and not been out the boxes, which was great, I thought I had a bargain! When we tried them out though she'd not been honest, they had been used and the big one, which was the one I really wanted, didn't work at all! I was so disappointed and felt rather cheated and bothered so I prayed about it, forgave the lady and said "Lord I'm planting that money into that lady as a seed and I choose to let it go and not get all bothered about it." 

Now go back a few months when we bought a really super second hand bike. After getting it home we realised it wasn't quite what we wanted after all so put it up for sale again.  We've just sold it and the man insisted on giving us more than we were asking for it he liked it so much and we made £15 profit!

The reason I'm telling you all that is, the Lord gave back to me double what I'd lost. The two little helicopters are working fine so it was only the £7 for the big one I'd lost out on in the end, but God doubled back to me what I'd lost.😊

God says to acknowledge Him at all times and give Him the glory and hopefully encourage someone else. I know it may seem a very small thing but it had troubled me at the time and I just realised afterwards how kind the Lord is to us. He cares about what bothers and concerns us, no matter how small or big, and He was showing me His word is practical and it works in the everyday things of life. 

If you're having or had some trouble, or experienced a loss of some kind, let me encourage you today to believe this promise that God will give you double blessing for every trouble and let Him work it out for you.

😊 Have a blessed weekend.x
