Missing the Blessing

Is America missing the greatest blessing of all?

Is your life blessed? What about your marriage? What about your relationships with the opposite sex, parents, children, co-workers and neighbors?

It seems the greatest blessing of all is masked in our land. The weight of the world could be lifted from our shoulders, and yet we continue to walk under heavy loads. Our nation is burdened by its own expectations and the “pursuit of happiness”. Could it be that we got mixed up somewhere along the way? Could it be that our perception of reality is tainted by a harsh task master?

Just for a moment … suppose that you work for a harsh and devious boss. You have worked for this boss most of your life. You know nothing else, and certainly nothing better, and yet just down the road, right around the corner, there is a better job. Would your harsh boss tell you about it? Would he let you know there is better life around the corner?

Of course not! He would try to hide the other job from your sight. If you did find out about the better deal, the harsh boss would lie to you; he would attempt to deceive you into thinking the other job is not so “good” after all.

That’s the story of my life. I was working for the Great Deceiver for many years, before someone showed me the greatest blessing of all. Someone showed me that there was another way. Someone stepped in and revealed the lies the Great Deceiver had told me about the other Boss and His Good Book.

The Deceiver has told me the Good Book was bad. He told me the other boss didn’t care, and He was mean and oppressive. Oh, the lies. All the while I was missing out on the greatest blessing of all.

My friend, God’s ways are not a burden, they are blessing. When you engage the instruction manual of the Almighty, you will be blessed. You will Know the Blessing.
