Many of us spend years waiting in great anticipation for a blessings arrival. Yet when that moment arrives, often times we are met with a feeling of being utterly overwhelmed. Whether is be a new position at work, or a dream vacation long planned….these and many more can be situations that are filled with great dramas, both good and bad. God promises never to give us more than we can handle. I think this this idea applies to blessings as well. Often times, we are being “prepped” in our current situations in order to be prepared for our much anticipated blessing to arrive. Blessings come with frustrations. With a raise in position comes more deadlines, and more people depending on you for guidance. With a dream vacation come unforeseen hiccups in your travel plans and added stresses of full itineraries. Many of us apply the promise of God never giving us more than we can handle to the awful things in life, but do we actually allow ourselves to realize that the good things that we are waiting for are affected by this too. If God can see that you are going to be overwhelmed with a blessing you’ve been waiting on, wouldn’t it stand to reason that He would lovingly want to prepare you for its arrival? Allowing yourself to be worked with by God gives Him the ability to build you to be who you need to be for those amazing things to start taking place in your life. Above all, God wants to bless us, but He never wants His blessing to be seen as a curse in your life. He loves you. Pastor Daniella
