Beloved, I just love to remind you again this morning that God cares for and loves you. In Matthew 6:32, the bible says:"Your heavenly father knoweth that ye have need of all these things." God loves to give. Listen: "He that spared not His own son but delivered Him for us all, how He not with Him shall also freely give us all things?" (Rom 8:32). When you were born again, you became part of God's family. But, there's a difference in what outsiders know and what family members know. Your children know things about you - what you have, what you like, what you do - that outsiders never see or know. And it's the same with us. Because we know that our Heavenly Father is rich and that He has great plans for us, our expectations of Him are enhanced and our confidence in Him is strengthened. But, just because He has it, doesn't mean He'll automatically give it to you. A good father exercises restraint. He's not only good to His children, He's good for them. Often He withholds things for a season in order to temper character and correct behaviour. Then, when the blessing comes, they're mature enough to handle it. If you don't understand this, you can easily become discouraged and turn away from Him in anger, because you believed for something that didn't come on time - or come at all. But, if your faith in His wisdom is stronger than your own personal agenda, you'll hold on to His promise, trust Him and wait patiently for the blessing to come. Why? Because you understand that your Heavenly Father knows what you need! It is well with you in Jesus Christ Name and do have a great weekend!
Yours In The Vineyard, Amareno "As the deer panteth after the waterbrooks, so panteth my soul after thee oh Lord" (Psalm 42:1)
