Have you ever begged God for something? You just had to have it and you became consumed with this thing or person, and although God knew what was best for you, he allowed you to have that very thing or person. Now that you have what you’ve begged God, do you for you he said no?
You begged for that job, now you hate waking up and going to it every day. You hate your boss, you can’t stand your co-workers and you constantly complain about the pay. You begged for that man or that woman and now you’re homicidal because you can’t trust them. You’re up all day and night wondering what they are doing, praying that you catch them messing up. You’ve become border line psychotic thinking of ways to get them back for hurting you. You begged for that car when you really needed a house, and now you’re robbing Peter to pay Paul to keep up the payments. Oh, how you wish you didn’t have to deal with these things or these people.
We say we trust God, but when God rules out of our favor we begin to beg him for things that mean us no good. At the time we can’t see it, but God knows all. So, it is in those times that God will give us a very expensive lesson that none of us are really ready, willing, or can afford to pay. Then our prayers become; Lord if you get me out of this job, out of this relationship, out of these payments, I will never go back. So, now we’re lying to God, because as soon as he gets us out, we go right back into a similar or sometimes the same situation.
Will God get us out of what we begged for? Yes, but in his time. Meanwhile, we have to learn to take God at his word and accept the answers that we don’t like.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
