It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. Pr252
Hi ladies, I haven't posted a praise in a while so thought I'd share this lesson He showed me yesterday.
I recently signed up for a service that lets me view my incoming mail for the day. I'm not sure why they offer it, but I suppose it's useful for people expecting important mail or packages.
Yesterday, I checked my mail while at work and saw an envelope from a government agency. My heart started racing, and I worried that they might be canceling my middle son's program or school funding. I quickly realized that anxiety was taking over and gave it to the Lord.
I then understood why the Lord sometimes conceals things from us. Had I not checked my mail online, I wouldn't have known about the letter until I got home and wouldn't have experienced unnecessary worry. Perhaps this is why He doesn't reveal everything to us at once – He knows what's best. I'm grateful that I knew to turn to Him in this situation. Years ago, I would have spent the entire day worrying and made myself sick.
When I got home, I opened the letter and found out my son was getting a slight increase in funding.
Who do we need to run to when we’ve got ourselves in a mess? Our Wonderful Counselor!
Who has known the mind of the Lord? “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor?” (Rom. 11:33–34). Speak to the Lord about what concerns you. Then sit quietly and hear from Him about each and everything that is coming against you so He can lead you to what you should do.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds….Ph4:6-7
Dear Hope, how wonderful is Our Beloved. I was so happy when I read the blessing that came in that letter. And how worried we are when Our Husband has already figured everything out.
Blessed be the Lord who is in control of everything.
Wow Hope, what a lovely surprise!! So much of the time we stress ourselves out because we cannot wait on the Lord. Yesterday He had me saying over and over in my head “wait & trust” as He has me in a season of waiting but l needed to trust too 🙏🏼 Not forgetting l also needed to praise Him and thank Him for every difficulty encountered. No matter what HE is good!!
