20 Nov 13 devotional from, Experiencing God
God's blessings are such a wonderful gift to receive, and you may not even notice them. God doesn't always bless you in you an extravagant, magnificent, awe inspiring way…Sometimes, it's in little ways, but it's often those little blessings that warm our hearts. For instance, a friend randomly stopping by when you are stressed, just to say hi and see how you are doing. A little 1st grader leaving a door tag on your front door with a hand drawn picture and a note that says "Thank you, we love our school" (personal experience, made my heart melt a little) The point I am driving at is, while the BIG blessings are…just that…a blessing- like getting money to pay your bills just in the nick of time; we also need to take heart in and pay attention to the little things God is doing in our lives behind the scenes, they are just as important.
Think about your daily life… now subtract all the huge, blatant, obvious blessings…What are you left with? Just an average, boring, useless day? Or are there little Jesus bombs dropping all around you that have become overshadowed by the big picture? Cherish these moments, just as God cherishes you.
