You never know when something you hoped/prayed/wished for is going to come, but when it does finally show up, will you be ready? Too often our people are ill prepared when blessings show up.
I think of men and women who ask God for babies, but yet don't make any life adjustments that will make room for the attention, love, care and more that is required to raise a child. They continue to work long hours, attend every event imaginable, and waste money. Then when the news comes, "We're pregnant." It isn't long before the happy news wears off and now a couple is arguing about things like: prenatal appointments, baby products, money, and everything else related to family.
You might be one of many looking out for some good things to happen in your life. Have you gave up anything while you wait? For some of us, the wait has been much longer than anticipated because we permitted distractions to get us off focus, we didn't always follow wise counsel, we fought with people who only had our best interests in mind, and more. Therefore, the more unprepared you are, the longer you have to wait. Some blacks didn't bother to give up anything to get something, so they have been hit with everything from illness to dysfunctional appliances in homes they love more than God!
Our people are rich with material goods, but poor with wisdom. Our people think they know much, but know very little. Many of our relatives and friends are foolish, liars and lazy. They say one thing, but do another. Looking at the size of many African Americans, it is clear to see that like hogs, they eat everything in site, but wisdom. So it isn't any wonder when knowledge is preached, black folks are too tired to listen!
Anything you want to accomplish in life, you must change your mindset! This is also true when it comes to spirituality, wellness, finances, marriage, parenting, business planning, and more. If you are unwilling to change your mind first, followed by making necessary sacrifices, and waiting on blessings rather than just jumping out there and doing whatever you want, don't wonder why nothing you touch never turns into gold. Besides, if you are a child of God, you know better than to believe that a mere mortal has a Midas touch anyway.
