On The Father of Lights and a Million Little Miracles

When I woke up this morning I had an urge to listen to "Million Little Miracles" and I did. That song is forever dear to me. I love it because it helps us with perspective. It's easy to be burdened by life's troubles and have our vision clouded by the troubles. In Nigeria we say "Problem no dey finish". A Million Little Miracles and Count your Blessings perspective helps us train our eyes to see the good and see how God is working even when the external circumstances don't line up.

I've had to slow down in the past month for medical reasons. And slowing down hasn't been easy for me. I've also been tempted to feel useless because I've been lying at home. But God has done the most. Sending timely encouragements my way. This morning I got one random message of encouragement and it started with "God sent me". I thanked God for one more miracle.

I didn't plan to make a post. In fact I didn't connect these events. But about half a hour ago I noticed this little rainbow in the corner of the room. I tried to figure out how it came about I still can't. But it made me remember the significance of the rainbow.

The rainbow is one of our visual reminders of God's love and presence. God is ever present and he is good. He is our Father of Lights and good things.

Like Great James wrote, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows" (James 1:17).

God Loves You whatever you are going through. It might be dark and sad at the moment but train your eyes - look for the Million Little Miracles God is doing. Breath is one of them. And hold on.

He never said we wouldn't go through it. He just said we'll never be alone - Andy Mineo paraphrased.

And one day - in this world or the one to come - wahala go finally finish and we will just relax and be taken kairoff by our Supreme Sugar Daddy himself
