Yesterday, Jaime and I went to Calvary Church in Naperville to attend their Saturday service. The topic was a continuing series called "A Life That Works" from Pastor Randal Ross. I really enjoyed the entire message and believe that Pastor Ross is very engaging and keeps you focused on the subject at hand. There was one thing, however, he said that really hit me. I've been thinking about it ever since.
Now, I don't remember his exact words, but the message is still the same, he said "If you are constantly looking and waiting for what God is going to bless you with and do in your life, you will miss what he is doing in your life at that very moment." After he said that it was like a light bulb had gone off inside my head and I finally saw what I had been missing all along.
I know I am guilty, even recently, of not being patient and complaining to God why certain things weren't going the way I wanted. I have just been waiting, and watching, like someone waiting for a highly anticipated package to be delivered Priority mail, not knowing that the sender had chosen a much slower shipping rate. In the meantime, while waiting for this "package" I haven't been paying attention to all the other "mail" being delivered, and have been pushing it to the side never bothering to open it.
I have been blessed with so much and when I sit back and actually pay attention, I realize God knows exactly what I need at the moment and what I can handle and is blessing me in more ways than I could imagine. This message has helped me realize that if you have faith and pay attention, the smallest envelope could contain the greatest blessing of all.
