So later on today I'll have my newest lesson, but right now I just want to talk about breakthrough right quick. I take my inspiration from Luke 1: 63, 64. That verse spoke to me especially after the rough day I had. My flesh was feeling down and out, but this communing with the Lord should me that sometimes he puts up roadblocks in our way to make sure we don't get in the way of our own blessing. And lets talk about that word "bless". My Word tells me that to be blessed is to have divine favor. So a blessing is tangible evidence of Christ's divine favor. People always think of a blessing as something that we want or say we need like money or a new car or job, but no. If you learn patience or kindness or gratefulness after a trial that's a blessing! God is bestowing on you, your situation and your life, divine favor. No one works with someone that doesn't want to be worked with or on. So be grateful and reassured that if at the end of the day "all that happened" is that you learned something, praise God and rejoice in His blessings.
