This morning on my way to work in my prayers with the Lord . I prayed for my Family , my Pastor , Church Family , friends and co-workers , and my place of employment . So the Lord gave me a word that got me thinking . The word ricochet .
Ricochet 1 of 2
ric·o·chet ˈri-kə-ˌshā
: a glancing rebound (as of a projectile off a flat surface)
the ricochet of the bullet off the wall
also : an object that ricochets
He was hit by a ricochet.
So while on my drive the Lord showed me that bullets , arrows , rocks and etc. aren't the only things that can ricochet . He said so can other things . He said that His people should be around like wise people . We shouldn't spend too much time with people that don't have the same thinking as His people . The reason , He showed me is that we can receive a Ricochet Blessing . God sends His Blessings in many different ways . He uses those Blessings in many different ways . I don't think I need to explain how He sends them , but we do need to understand how His Blessings to someone else ricochets to build the Faith of His people . My Uncle Wayne is one of those people . He recieved treatment for something major that was meant for someone else that didn't need the medical team that was assembled for them . His blessing was life , just as the Blessings that others will receive when we share about the Love of our Father God and the Life that His only Son gave for every man woman and child of this world . So today think about how a blessing that you've received has blessed someone else , and your Faith will be built even stronger . All over scripture Blessings were given and received in many different ways . From the woman with the issue of blood , to the thief on the cross . We can could all use a few ricochets . Be blessed today choose Life with a Great Great God .

Glory!
