We often don't understand the way in which God answers our prayers. We've been praying for months for the provision of permanent work for Stephen. We were really excited about a recent interview that he had, hopeful that he would get the job. But God said no. Or was that "Wait"? Obviously, we can't know at this point. But we will keep praying for Him to provide, keep clinging to His promises to care for us, keep trusting in His good an perfect will for our lives.
Charles H. Spurgeon reminds us, "Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there....Down busy self, and proud impatience, it is not for you to choose, but for the Lord of Love!" (Morning and Evening, November 11).
My prayer is that the Lord will use this circumstance to draw us into a closer relationship with Him, to bring us into a deeper sense of our dependence on Him, and to root out of our hearts the sinful idols that keep us from giving our full affections to Him. Soli Deo Gloria!
