Blessings in Disguise

This weekend I truly felt the words of Laura Story's "Blessings". More specifically...."what if your healing comes through pain... And what if the trials of this life, the rain, the storms, the hardest nights are Your mercies in disguise?" (I encourage you to listen to the whole song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOOFAaUGfRE)

We'd never have avoided a catastrophic event if not for a headache that took us to the doctor. As a result there were some very hard nights as a merciful and loving God healed one who might have otherwise met his end instead...mercies so amazing and such a blessing in disguise.

Do you find yourself going through a hard night, pain, or a storm in your life? Can you fathom that it is a blessing to be revealed at a later time?

 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire —may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. (1 Peter 1:6-7) 
If you're going through one of these times, tell someone that they may know and come around you with prayer and support and then may join you in the praise, glory and honor when Jesus is revealed in the situation.

I am so very grateful for those amazing friends and family who shared in this great blessing in disguise. May God be glorified!



Of all the "attitudes" we can acquire, surely the attitude of gratitude is the most important and by far the most life-changing. Zig Ziglar
