Someone said, "It is easier to get forgiveness than it is to get
permission." Sometimes we make decisions and then call on God after the
fact to get His approval. This type of decision making always ends in a mess.
Better to seek His face and His will before we make a decision and have
His permission than to risk being out of His will and having to ask for
His forgiveness later and deal with the fallout! The big problem for most of us
is waiting for God to answer. We are like King Saul when Samuel didn’t show up
on time; we take matters into our own hands and are surprised when we cause a
“train wreck!” They that “…wait upon the
Lord, shall renew their strength…” and they also avoid having to clean up
the mess! S. E. Trail
My
prayer for you today would be for a heart that “waits” for His will!
James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye
may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
KJV
“A mother announced to her family,
"Tomorrow morning I'm going to make an old-fashioned breakfast with eggs,
ham, biscuits and grits." The five-year-old daughter groaned, "But,
Mommy, you know I don't like eggs." Mom then reminded her of all the food
the little girl liked that contained eggs. The next morning, when the daughter
walked into the kitchen, Mom said, "Since you are here first, you can
decide for the family. How do you want me to cook the eggs?" The little girl
answered, "In chocolate cake, please."
