Scripture reference: Matthew 6:33 (ESV)
Transcription:
Because you’re in a relationship with God, there are some things that you’ve just come to expect from Him, such as Him answering specific prayers.
Yet there are also things you may not expect God will send your way. This is God’s unexpected good or the good you didn’t even think to ask for.
This was certainly the case for Joseph who was an innocent man falsely imprisoned. His prayer was simply to be released from prison and to have his good name restored.
He could envision these two things – freedom and his proclaimed innocence.
But Joseph couldn’t envision God’s unexpected good for him. He didn’t know that God would make him governor of Egypt, reunite him with his family, and give him a loving wife.
Here’s the point. You can’t envision God’s unexpected good because, as the Lord proclaims in Isaiah 55:8 – “…my thoughts are nothing like your thoughts.”
Here’s what the Scriptures tell us we can do:
“…seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew 6:33 (ESV)
This has been your B Moment. Your moment to be still…to be fed by the Word of God…to be grateful.
