Spiced Blessings...

“…but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." - Isaiah 40:31

Two weeks ago, I was about to prepare lunch for my family, when I took out a fresh fish from the freezer.

Suddenly my one year five months old daughter who stood by watching, started crying and demanding that I give her the fish to eat. I kept trying to tell her in my own way that the fish was raw, I needed to spice it up, cook and then take out the bones so it can be ready for consumption. 

However, my toddler was adamant and wouldn't hear but chose to cry louder and even fell to the ground. No one was able to comfort her.

I decided to ignore her, went ahead to do what was right and cooked the fish. When it was ready, she had her fish and didn't even remember all the drama she had put up.” 

But the Holy Spirit ministered to me that this is how many of us cry for a blessing that is not yet ready. God is saying I'm spicing it up, cooking it and taking out the bones so you don't get choked.

If only my little daughter knew, she would have waited patiently instead of being anxious.

God is saying, “Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” – Philippians 4:6.

Wait on the Lord, just like Job said, “…All the days of my appointed time will I wait till my change comes.” – Job 14:14.

God is saying to you today, ‘Be still and know that I am God, I am spicing up that blessing so you will enjoy to the fullest.” 

Change is coming. Help is on the way. Just wait. 

Stay Blessed!
