8.25.18 – 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.

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."
