Everyday Logos

Sometimes we don’t recognize when God has answered our prayers because our prayers are not answered in the way in which we expect them to be.  I recently experienced this myself in that I have been praying for peace over this last year, and when God finally brought peace I didn’t recognize it right away.  In fact, at first I thought that the situation that God had allowed to happen was just another trial; however, I came to realize that it was not a trial but it was the peace that I had been praying for. 

So next time it seems that God is not answering your prayers, stop and listen to the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit who whispers, “Trust that I cause all things to work together for good to those who love Me.  And remember that My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts are higher than your thoughts.”     

(Romans 8:28; Isaiah 55:9)

…and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished.  Luke 18:31

God called Jesus Christ to what seemed absolute disaster.  His life was an absolute failure from every standpoint except God’s.  But what seemed to be failure from man’s standpoint was a triumph from God’s standpoint, because God’s purpose is never the same as man’s purpose.  – My Utmost for His HIghest Calendar

“The signs and wonders seekers waiting in line under the hot Los Angeles sun for the best seats in the Galen Center got more than they bargained for. They came to USC’s sports stadium last weekend to see their hero Todd Bentley and to receive a promised impartation of God’s anointing. But what they got was a dud of a meeting inside and some unanticipated reproofs, rebukes, and exhortations on the outside.” -www.inthedays.com

Thursday, July 24, 2008, was the most devastating day of my life. The unimaginable happened.

We never think about our children leaving this earth before us. But it happened when my son Christopher was suddenly called to heaven.

At first, I couldn’t comprehend the news. It was like the worst dream I had ever had, and I wanted to wake up. But I couldn’t. Friends and family were immediately at our side – loving, hugging and holding us.

But in the end, there are no answers for a situation like the loss of a son.

In accepting God’s will, Job said:

Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked shall I return.
The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord. (Job 1:21 NKJV)
