For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O LORD, You surround him with favor as with a shield.
Psalm 5:12
Ever feel like you’re so blessed you just can’t stand it? Well, spend time with God long enough, and you shall. Its only a matter of time before he begins to place you in “blessing takeover” mode. I am ever grateful to God for this summer. After feeling like I went through the hardest year beginning it being sick, and my husband being ill as well – I feel as if we are in a new season. Ever grateful for new skills and new opportunities I just feel all new. Like this chapter of my life will be like none other. I have been in a grateful mode since he beginning of the year, despite what I looked like, because I knew I was surrounded with favor. In the Hebrew, the word is favour : which means :”pleasure, delight, goodwill, acceptance“. Delight, is about what is pleasing to God, to bless me. It’s nice to know His blessings are all about receiving them the way He desires to give them. In the highest order there is. Knowing God surrounds me with acceptance, is very, very reassuring. And to be accepted by the Most Awesome, Himself, myself, and also others, just feels Great. It’s the highest form of Love, there is. It ‘s love in various ways and forms and I encompasses me about. I just love the fact that God is so loving. And the He even desires to show pleasure and delight to me, in this way.
