UNEXPECTED BLESSINGS AND SURPRISES!
SCRIPTURE
Finally hearing good news from a distant land is like a drink of cold water when you are dry and thirsty (Proverbs 25:25 GNT).
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
There are few things that can add a bright spot in a person’s day like getting a good report or some good news, especially news that you didn’t expect. As we read in the verse above, there is something about getting good news that acts like water on a thirsty soul. It clears your mind and gives you a new sense of hope and determination. Everyone loves to hear good news! Yet, often even though there is good news around us, sometimes we miss it because negative news has overtaken our focus. Make a point to do two things today: 1) focus on the good news that is happening around you; 2) ask God for good news to come your way. In fact, it is an act of faith to pray for that. God doesn’t want you living life bracing for the worst, but rather expecting the best. By asking Him to bring good tidings into your life, you are showing Him that you expect His best to be your life’s experience. Expect good news and divine surprises!
