Faithful and True
I want to share a story I heard on the radio. I may get some of the details wrong, but I think YOU will be inspired by this story, too.
A daughter forgot to take her lunch to school. She called her Father, who was at home, taking a much needed day off. He had a lot of yard work to catch up on after weeks and weeks of rain. She asked her father to bring her lunch to her at school.
The father finished the mowing.
He then took his daughter’s lunch to school and waited for her in the lunchroom.
The daughter arrived for lunch. She was obviously angry. “Dad, you didn’t bring my lunch!”
Dad replied: “What time is your lunch break?”
“Noon”, she replied.
“What time is it?” He asked.
“Noon”, she responded. “But I wanted you to bring it right away so I wouldn’t worry.”
Do YOU ever feel that way?
— End of story —
WOW! Convicting, or what??? I have to say YES!
What about you? Do you expect God to answer according to YOUR time-table? Or do you trust that your FATHER GOD will NOT let you down? Not ever!!!
God doesn’t work on our timetable. HIS TIMING IS ALWAYS PERFECT! He loves and cares for His “children”. He will never ever forsake you. He adores you! Do you believe that? Does this little story help put things in perspective for you? Do you—like me—need to take a few minutes to confess your/my impatience at wanting to “Do it my way”???
“Seek ye the Kingdom of God an all these things {food, clothing, whatever you need} shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock.”
Luke 12:31-32
