All problems have hidden blessings



I was asking the Holy Spirit earlier a question and I received an interesting answer. Reflecting on common themes, I sensed in my spirit phrases like "trust me" and "I love you." Then, while pondering questions about failure, particularly in business, I felt reassured that it's okay to fail, that life isn't graded, and I won't receive an 'F' from God.

This year, 2024, has been challenging (as was the previous year). I questioned why I have so many problems, and I heard something new, something that captures the essence of a psalm:

• You're alive. That's a significant blessing to be grateful for.

• All problems have hidden blessings.

Intrigued, I asked for clarification, and the response was that all my perceived problems contain hidden blessings. This resonates with the spirit of Psalm 91. Whether in our personal lives, our communities, or the world at large, we can often discern the Lord's hand, the Messiah's hand, the Father's hand – guiding, helping, and blessing us. Hidden gifts reside within all our problems.

 

91 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
