Overtaken

What does it look like when blessings overtake you? Is it like The Wizard of Oz when the tornado swept Dorothy up? Is it like a storm surge? Is it like a surfer that wipes out on a wave? Is it utter chaos followed by bliss? Imagine what it must feel like to truly be blessed. Now, realize that you are blessed. You are blessed in the city. You are blessed in the field. Your children are blessed. Your home is blessed. Your job is blessed. You are overtaken by blessings every day. You woke up. You had a roof over your head, food to eat, and clothes on your back. You made it to and from wherever you went without any bodily harm. Your enemies scattered. Your friends gathered. God is with you. You are overtaken by God's grace and mercy every morning. You are overtaken by God's promises daily. 

Deuteronomy 28:1-8  (KJV)

 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
