We didn't get it

We didn’t get it.

Someone else had already put in a bid before us…but they were having trouble with financing…so, we were out of a contract, but in a holding pattern. Since we were no longer in a contract, and we had some time, we went to look at a few houses to at least fine-tune the searching. In less than 24 hours the house we had put in a bid on had slipped back into a dead heat for fourth place, and its luster was all but lost. We allegedly went house hunting with God as our guide, and we somehow managed to put a bid down on a house we are now ecstatic not to actually be buying.

When we saw that house, because we had never had even that much before, we thought in our hearts, “Surely God won’t (can’t) bless us more than this."

We just didn't get it.

How we underestimate God. Often when man tries to contemplate the glory of God, we only have the glory of man as a reference, so our understanding is extremely limited. While we apparently cannot fathom the full measure of the blessings God has in store for us, He is faithful and delivered us from our finite understanding of His power.
