The Only One Standing In The Way Of Your Blessings Is You

 This past week I listened to a sermon by Pastor Steve Smothermon of Legacy Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico centering on how we will never be able to receive the full blessings the God has for us until we submit fully to His will. This message had such an impact on me personally that I listened to it again this morning on my drive into work.

Let me say before I begin let my say how amazing it is that God used a sermon preached in a church in New Mexico, was posted on Youtube, then listened to me here in Louisiana. Most importantly, unknown to Pastor Smothermon, God intended for me to here it because it would impact me and help me understand my present situation in life. 

Let's look at that again.

God inspired Pastor Smothermon in New Mexico, two states away, to preach a sermon that his congregation in Albuquerque needed to hear, but also God knew that I needed to hear it also so He provided a way for that message to reach me here in Louisisana.

Nothing can stop the work of God and if you need to hear His word he will make sure you here it.

Glory be to God!

I was going to summarize the sermon and make the connection on how exactly the message connected to me personally. Instead, I will just share the same video I listened to in hope that God speaks to you in the same way.

Blessings

Blessings: We often forget that everything in life, including life itself, is a blessing from God. As a man of faith I thank God during my daily prayer for all those blessings He has bestowed upon myself and my family. If you ever want to know just how blessed you really are? Just take a few moments to look around you. There are many people who are having a much harder time getting through their daily life than you are. Take time to pray for those people. Even though it may not seem like it to the casual observer, The Lord is taking care of them as well. We live in a world full of distractions. From cell phones to television our daily lives are filled with things that take our minds off our problems as well as God. I urge you to take the time to look around you. There is a beautiful world out there. Instead of watching another cute cat video, watch some children playing, look at a sunset or if you have the means take a walk in the woods. The miracle of God's creation is all around you and is a much more wonderful show than anything on the television or internet. Take every opportunity to disconnect from technology and grow closer to God through enjoyment of his wonders.
