Believe God, I mean BELIEVE GOD

Believe God, I mean BELIEVE GOD

My dear child comes to me yesterday and has a little clipboard. On it are written: Name, Clue, Anything Else is Possible. Apparently there is deductive reasoning in education these days. We try to decide what mystery to solve. So there has been a mystery in our home for weeks and weeks now. What happened to Goodnight Moon? Has anyone seen it? Where did it go? I have looked and looked. But it seems that dear child is up for some systematic deduction and serious searching, so we're ready to solve this little mystery. So first, I say, we have to pray about it. Because God knows exactly where that book is. He knows what it is under, next to, behind. He knows the last time I saw it and said to myself, that doesn't belong there, I'll have to move it back, and then never did! He knows which of these children moved it and when and He knows where it is right now. And, if we pray together, one puts a thousand to flight, 2 puts 10 thousand to flight, and I don't know how many we would put to flight, but it would be a lot!!! I can't do the math! So dear child says Dear Lord, please help us find Goodnight Moon this week.

And I said NO. Dear Lord, TODAY, this afternoon, show us where it is, help us to find it, help us remember where we saw it. Thank you Lord! We pray in Jesus' name.

What do you think? Is that bad parenting? Was I setting this child up to be scarred for life? NO, I said. You will believe God for more than that. We can believe God for more than that.

In the end I think it only took 10 minutes to find it, PRAISE GOD. I'm not kidding, I have looked and looked for that book. AND THERE IT WAS.

I just think God wants to do some work in our lives!! Let me all cap that: I JUST THINK GOD WANTS TO DO SOME WORK IN OUR LIVES!!!

I must keep the all caps:

HE WANTS US TO BELIEVE THAT HE CAN DO IT!!!

HE WANTS US TO ASK HIM!! WHILE WE ARE BELIEVING HIM!!! ALL AT THE SAME TIME TOGETHER!!

What is it that Gary Wiens says, He wants us to thank Him, and ask Him for help again.

Thank you Lord!!!

Help us!!!
