Turning Bad into a Blessing

Astilbe usually blooms in a circular fashion. I remember after lightning killed the apple tree in my yard everything planted around the tree had to be transplanted. The apple tree had to be cut down. I wondered how my astilbe plants would fair being transplanted mid-season. They looked dead. I thought they wouldn't be back the next year. To my great surprise and delight they not only came back the next summer but this one bloomed in a heart shape. A pleasant reminder from God that He has everything both great and small in the palm of His hands.

He can turn what looks like a bad situation into a blessing. So never lose your focus. Keep your eyes on the Father no matter how frustrated you are, no matter how hurt you are, no matter what comes against you like a flood. Expect the blessing even if you don't see it now, cannot fathom how a blessing could occur, or what the blessing could be. Just focus on the Father. Praise and prayer calls on the Heavenly to invade this Earth and changes situations, atmospheres, and the minds of mankind. Stand. When you have done all, stand. I did all I could for this astilbe, it looked dead, but I kept it watered in spite of its appearance. Then the blessing occurred. Little things can remind us of the greatness of our Father and the truth of His Word.

Until next time,
