As I write this, the ambient temperature is 42 degrees. The significance of that is it’s near the end of January when that kind of temperature isn't expected. The significance of 42 degrees in January is the temptation to remove some of the weather appropriate clothing this season dictates. The significance is we caught a break.
As I think about our spiritual lives the same can be true. When things are going better than expected or when something unexpected occurs to send our spirits soaring, it's clear we've caught a break. The significance is we don't always expect a breakthrough. The significance of unexpected blessings is the temptation to remove or lighten our prayer life. After the initial Thank You Jesus; we begin to replace gratefulness with basking in the blessing. Remember how Momma told you to keep your clothes on when the weather broke so you wouldn’t catch a cold. Bask in your blessing, but don't forget to keep your garments of praise on so your season will last.
Yours Because He Lives,
