"The
LORD remembers us and will bless us: He will bless the house of Israel,
he will bless the house of Aaron, he will bless those who fear the LORD —small
and great alike.” (Psalm
115:12-13 NIV))
We simply look at each other and
say,”BONUS” - when God does that little bit extra that He’s such a specialist
at doing. As an example, when we are completely worn out following many long
days of labor; finally it’s off for a vacation. We were in for a long flight and were prepared
for our bodies going a bit stiff and having to remain seated, squeezed in for
many hours. When we finally, after a long wait in the departure lounge are
cleared to board the aircraft, the airline’s agent greets us with the words;”Is it Rut and Peter”? Surprised that
he addressed us by our first names we answer, ’yes’. Then he says with glee: ”You have been upgraded to Business Class”.
We just look at each other, this time with tears in our eyes, and say, BONUS! –
or more correctly – God’s blessing again! – We were treated like royalty; we
were offered broad, comfortable seats, offered attention to every detail, food
and beverage on Royal Copenhagen china.
God always knows
our every need. Sometimes He surprises us in the most remarkable way. We just
know it’s His doing. He knows us by our name and knows every detail of how He
can best demonstrate His personal concern and care for us.
Prayer
Thank You for knowing our every need, and
for having the resources to meet and fill them to overflowing…
