The greatest blessings in my life have all come suddenly and unexpected. They were never planned or programmed. They just appeared – suddenly.
We can reduce our life of faith down to a human level of understanding that produces solutions from the exercise of human intellect causing us to assume these self-sourced outcomes are the blessing. There are things we do each day - faithful acts of obedience, each drawn from within the pool of resource we provide and manage. These resources are not the stuff of miracles. They can bring us to the edge of supernatural provision, but they cannot produce the blessing. God's blessings arrive passing through the veil that separates the realms of heaven and earth. That kind of arrival is why we call them supernatural.
As you faithfully walk through the day keep one eye on the spiritual horizon. God is bringing sudden and unexpected blessing. Yes, He is bringing these blessings to help you in your place of need, but there is another reason that is far more significant. God never wants you to settle for a relationship with Him that is only empowered by what you can do for Him. He wants to show you what He can do for you if you will trust and believe. When His sudden answers arrive they will redefine your understanding of the word blessing.
