WHAT'S GOING ON

WHAT'S GOING ON?


Have you ever PRAYED to God
For something specific=
For a SPECIFIC ANSWER


And then when the answer
COMES=it is NOTHING like
You imagined


Your immediate response is=
What is this?
WHAT IS GOING ON?


“What is this?” Exodus 16:15


The Israelites were praying
For BREAD from heaven-
And they received QUAIL


“That evening QUAIL came
And covered the camp
And in the morning
There was a layer
Of dew=around the camp


When the dew
Was gone
Thin flakes like frost
On the ground
APPEARED on the
Desert floor


When the Israelites
Saw it=they said
To each other=
'WHAT IS IT'


For they did NOT KNOW
What it was” Exodus 16:13-15


The Lord ALWAYS
Gives us answers
To our prayers


He knows what is
BEST for us=
What is best
For our SPIRITUAL GOOD


So MY PRAYER for you
Is that when you get
That “WHAT'S GOING ON?” answer
To your prayer


That you are able
To bear with it
And see how it WORKS OUT-
If not=for your own good
At least for
The GOOD OF OTHERS


KEEPING you all
IN my very dear prayers


Sometimes when
We get bewildered
By our answers
All we can do
Is KEEP TRUSTING the Lord
And his provisions for us


“They will have
No fear of bad news


Their hearts are steadfast
TRUSTING in the Lord” Psalm 112:7


“Stop TRUSTING
In mere humans


Who have
But a breath
In their nostrils


Why hold them
In esteem?” Isaiah 2:22


So keep on
TRUSTING in the LORD


Grow CLOSER to the
PERSON of Jesus=even closer
Than you have ever been


Trust God=trust Jesus
EVEN MORE


“........but as for me=
I TRUST IN YOU” Psalm 55:23


SO WHAT'S GOING ON?
I don't know


God's plan=Jesus' plan
Is GREATER than our own=
Our very own=for ourselves


I know God
Will NEVER let us down=
We sometimes just have
To PERSEVERE
IN GOD'S LOVE FOR US


In Jesus' name
