Your way around, not mine!


'Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.'

1 Peter 5:6 KJV



It's been a while; life's been real busy...too busy!  We all have problems we don't know the answers to.  Obstacles we can't overcome.  Road blocks with no way around, at least not to our eyes.  I have mine to!

I was just searching youtube for a video I could use to compliment this weeks bible class - Cain and Abel.  I was looking for something about worship which pleases and is acceptable to God.  I had already learned that God wasn't angry with Cain because of his unacceptable offering but because of his reaction to God's refusal of it.  Cain could have learned from his mistake and given God the offering or worship God desired, but pride, jealousy and hatred took over.

Anyway as I looked through videos about worship, struggling to find something that said what I wanted, I found something else, in a way totally unrelated, that God knew I needed to hear (here's the link).

'So many good things have flowed from the immense, unimaginable wisdom that God showed in answering our prayers, not according to our will but according to His will.  That's why we worship Him.  That's why we follow Him.  His ways are higher than ours.  His ways are best.  I take time to share this with you cause I'm thinking to myself, 'you probably have some things you're seeking God about, some things your asking God to do'.  How important is it that you learn from my mistakes.  Let's worhip God at all times, when we see what He's doing and even when we can't.  That's the lesson that I learned, it happened to me.'
James MacDonald

Even when I can't see what You're doing, I will worship You!  I long for the day when I can say about the obstacles and road blocks that I have in my heart and that I'm leaving to You, 'It happened to me!'

Get me over, under, through, around...

2 Timothy 2:15

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
