At ten in the morning yesterday, I stepped outside on a clear crisp morning for some fresh air. I made a conscious decision to pray and ASK the Lord to bless my family so that we could be more of a blessing to others. Maybe it will encourage your faith as it has mine to hear how quickly the Lord answers our prayers.
Chad called me at lunch time and said "I've have to tell you about my morning!"
On the way to class at 10am, he was walking down the "cow path" at Ball State University and found a $100.00 bill laying on the ground. He asked people who were around if they lost it, no one claimed it, so He said thank you Jesus and put it in his wallet!
Another concern he had was instantly resolved when He found that that the class he was concerned about was cancel for the day.
My anniversary day at work is July 24th, I didn't expect a raise until then. I found out at 10:30am that I was getting a raise effective immediately!
Within a half hour of daring to ask the Lord to Bless our family, three totally unexpected blessing were poured out.
Not all blessing are monetary, be we need to understand that it is the Lord's PLEASURE to bless his children in every way. If you are a parent, think about how much you want nothing but good things for your kids. How much more does Jesus want to bless us and to see us walking in the fullness of everything He as designed for our lives.
James 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
