SURPRISES!

James 1:17 Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens.

Surprises!
Some we like and some we don’t, depending on whether they’re nice or not, but the other night I found a little parcel under one of my cushions which was a lovely surprise. It was a little gift, for no reason, and it blessed me so much.🤗 When something nice happens it can just lift our spirits and put a smile on our faces. It doesn’t even have to be a gift, it can be a kind or encouraging word and it just makes our day.🙂

God is wanting to make our day every day. Proverbs 3:33 … he blesses the home of the righteous. Psalm 5:12 For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous. Every single morning He gifts us with a fresh supply of His mercy and a superabundance of His grace to favour us in everything we have to do that day. His grace will lift us up, carry us through and take us over whatever unfolds.

Sometimes though we don’t recognise all His benefits, all His blessings, and so we don’t acknowledge them or even expect them. He invites us to come with expectancy, believing for good things to happen. Instead we can actually draw negative things to us when we expect bad things to happen, when we listen to the enemy’s ‘what ifs’. God won’t force anything on us, but He looks to see what we’re expecting.

It may be that He has some amazing, lovely surprises just waiting to be delivered to our doorstep but no one is answering the door because we’re too busy worrying!🙂 What are we expecting? More of the same, or for God to do something good and wonderful in our lives?

As we go through our week let’s choose to have a great sense of anticipation and expectation of seeing the goodness of God in the land of the living, of seeing situations turned around, and remember His goodness and mercy are chasing us down every day.(Psalm 23

God is so good to us and His blessing is on your head too. Don’t forget that!🙂 (Proverbs 10:6NKJV). 

Let’s believe for the goodness of God and for some of His lovely God surprises.🙂 Amen.
