Good Morning!! Have you ever noticed, or wondered; "why do so
many Christians look at the things that happen in their lives, in such a
negative way?" I guess it's really how you learn to see things. It's a matter of
perception,...and we all know that how we perceive is based on what we
know,...or don't know. And if that's true, then we might conclude, that these Christians don't
really know whom they follow,...or much about the God they claim serve.
"Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?—Matthew 7:9 (NIV)
No loving father, would give a
stone or a snake, to his hungry son if he asked for a piece of bread or a
fish. Jesus used the absurdity of that analogy in Matthew 7 to
underscore the Heavenly Father's readiness to give good things to His
children when they ask Him. He wanted them to have complete confidence
in the Father's provision for their spiritual needs. Sometimes however, it may
seem as if the Lord has given us "stones" instead of "bread." But in His
wisdom, He actually is working through our circumstances to give us
something far better than what we've requested.
Know and trust this, "God loves You!",... "He only wants the very best for You.",...and "All things work for His Glory."
Thank You, Heavenly Father because even though we might ask amiss, You always answer aright. Amen.
"The
things that make God most dear to us, are not the great big blessings,
as much as the tiny things,...because they show His amazing intimacy
with us."
