Meditation Verse:
“He does great things past finding out, yes, wonders without number.” — Job 9:10 (NKJV).
I once listened to a pastor share a striking story about God’s invisible blessings. Late one night, she was working at her desk when she felt prompted to check on her sleeping children. When she got to their room, she found her youngest at the very edge of the bed—just moments away from a dangerous fall. She gently moved the child back to safety and returned to her work. A little while later, she was nudged again to check on them.
This time, she found one child with his knees pressed against the nostrils of another, unknowingly blocking his sibling’s breathing. Again, she adjusted their sleeping positions and quietly went back to her work. The next morning, the children woke up happy and healthy. Over breakfast, they thanked her for the meal—but no one mentioned the events of the night before. How could they? They had been completely unaware of the danger they had been in, or the interventions that had saved them.
That story is a powerful picture of what God does for us daily. We often remember to thank God for the big, visible blessings—answered prayers, open doors, promotions, and healing. But what about the blessings we never saw? What about the dangers God silently shielded us from? The delays that protected us? The closed doors that turned out to be divine redirections? The psalmist reminds us: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits…” (Psalm 103:2). And Job declares: “He does great things past finding out, yes, wonders without number.” (Job 9:10).
Every day, we sleep and wake because the Lord sustains us (Psalm 3:5). We eat, walk, breathe, and move—often without realizing how many invisible systems in our bodies are functioning in divine harmony. During the pandemic, we were reminded that even something as basic as breathing can become a luxury.
If God were to pull back the curtain and show you the number of times He intervened in your life silently—keeping you safe, redirecting your steps, healing you in ways you didn’t perceive—it would leave you in awe. So, as you rise each day, pause and give thanks—not just for what you see, but also for what you don’t. Thank Him for the blessings behind the scenes. He is working wonders without number. What “invisible blessings” are you grateful for today?
