Alright so I havent written one of these in a long time but i felt led to. I have been struggling with a situation going on about five months.I have prayed to God every night for an answer but never received one or so i thought . I had open my bible many times before but i was only looking for the answer i wanted .( there is not person who is more blind than a person who will not open their eyes and see) . I finally said, lord ,look I'm running out of patience ...Please give me an answer or a sign of some sort...please. After all my begging and pleading i opened up my bible and just picked a place and started reading....37:1 <[A Psalm] of David.> Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 37:2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 37:5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass. 37:6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 37:10 For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be]: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be]. The Desires of my heart .... that sounded pretty good but what were they? . I wanted something very badly but was that thing the real thing I wanted? If a child asked for white powder thinking it was sugar you would give him sugar not the white powder because its posion. This too made me think .... am I asking for posion ? God knows what the true desire of my heart is and i will recieve it one day.He will not give me poison .I talked to my Youth Pastor he said that maybe i wasn't prepared to handle the whole answer so God was giving bits and pieces to it to prepare me for the answer. God does have the whole picture and he only gives us a piece at a time but it gives me a peace of mind to know God has it all in control . I prayed for patience and peace ,with in days I was content....What are you praying for? what are your hearts desire? Are you asking for something that might be poison? Think about it!!!! |
