I was getting ready to take a shower this morning and I did something I never do. I took my cell phone into the bathroom. Kind of a pointless action since I wouldn't get out of the shower if it rang or anything, but still, there it lay on the counter as I stepped into the shower. So hearing my cell phone ring while I was in the shower and unable to address it in any way, also put me in a place where I could just listen to my ringtone- the first part of the chorus of Laura Story's "Blessings", a song I have long loved.
What if Your blessings come through raindrops?
What if Your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights is what it takes to know Your near?
What if trials of this life are Your blessings in disguise?
As far as I know right now, God's not asking me to have a thousand sleepless nights, but I may have around three hundred. Maybe that's just what is needed.
In those times when life seems too hard, painful or just impossible to bear, God is in control, and no matter what brought the circumstances to bear, God either has a purpose or can use the situation for incredible good.
What if blessings come through this deployment?
What if healing comes through my tears?
What if three hundred sleepless nights is what it takes to know God's near?
Remember that trials of this life may be blessings in disguise.
