He delights to give us good gifts


As human beings we always pray and wish for good things. We always wish that it was us who will strike that lottery instead of the next person. We wish that we would have that BMW instead of our friend. We would wish our husband will be that tall dark and handsome guy. We wish that good things will happen to us. But when God does bless us with good things, we almost do not believe that He would do that. It is too good to be true therefore it cannot be God. It cannot be for me. But our God is waiting to bless us with good things. The best for us.

I have mentioned in my previous blog entries that as Christians, the extraordinary should be the ordinary for us. We say it and we say it should be. But when it does happen, how much do we believe it? We almost will forget about it when the extraordinary does happen and walk away thinking it must not be for me. For example, you are suddenly being offered a job that pays tripple of what you are getting and you will be doing less than what you are currently doing plus you would be doing something that you would really love and you are being offered this job. But you say that it is too good to be true. There has to be a hidden agenda. There must be something fishy. I better not accept it. Everything looks fine but there is no such good things that would happen to me. Know the saying "There is nothing free in this world". Where is our believe? Extraordinary? Does it only happen when there are signs and wonders? We say we want to experience miracles yet when it comes in a package that we do not recognise, we disregard it?

May we recognise the good things that He delights to give us. In no way am I saying that it is the prosperity gospel and that as Christians, we are to have prosperity and wealth and health all the time. But in our journey, God does delight in us and delight in blessing us as well.

May you be suprised by God in His little blessings that He would give you. His good gifts to you.
