Day 341 Not A Gumball Kind of God




Don’t worry about these things, saying, “What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?” These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:31-33

Guess what. God isn’t a genie, just waiting for you to rub the lamp so that He can appear and grant your three wishes. He’s not waiting to hear your marketing plan for your life to determine whether He’s going to invest in you. A lot of people never realize this, and then conclude that "God doesn't work."

The truth is that God is waits for us to make the decision to really follow Jesus. That’s how God works. Will you follow Jesus even if it costs you? Will you follow His teachings and His direction no matter where it leads you?

G.K. Chesterton wrote,“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult, and left untried.”

Keep on choosing God’s agenda for your life, Sarah. You'll find that God "works" every time!
