Good morning,
Today we can see that some people are getting impatient in the hard hit East Coast area after Hurricane Sandy. There are reports of rude people lined up for gas and every day items like food and clothing. This is a good time to examine who is really in control. Is it really possible to have something that is not given to you ? For example, can I have a full tank of gas if the Lord does not give it to me first ? Sometimes we ask why do things like this happen ? Why are we put with our backs against the wall ?
It is times like this, that we need to trust the Lord. The Lord provides for his people. Sometimes he takes things away from us that we might be closer to Him. Sometimes he rearranges things that His plan might manifest rather than our plan. One of the proverbs of Solomon says this, " In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9 Our plan does not always line up with the Lord's plan. God sends us down different roads for different reasons.
This is an excellent time to help others and pray for the people of the coast. If you cannot donate money or volunteer time you can always pray to Jesus. That doesn't cost a thing, however, it can do immeasurable good.
What do you have to pray for today ?
