Hmm sometimes i wonder if i even know what i'm really praying for.. i've realised that i've prayed many prayers, asking God for many things. But do i really know what i asked for? do i know what i'm getting myself into by praying those prayers? It came to me that some of the prayers that i prayed for, weren't answered, and because of that i am grateful. I have prayed many 'stupid' prayers i would say, many times not realizing that God has something much better installed for me, and that He has a perfect plan for my life. Many times i've tried to take 'control' over my life by asking God to give me this, or place me in this situtaion so this thing will happen to me, thinking that at that point in time it was the best thing for me. But as time slowly goes on, God begins to reveal to me that the things that i prayed for, were actually quite foolish, because what i thought was best for me, God had something much more planned! Some of the things that we pray for, we know the consequence and what the end result will be, so we have counted the cost and decided that we want it, so we pray to God about it. But do we really know what we are praying for, and when God actually gives us what we want, will we be able to handle it? e.g we can pray for a new job with better pay and etc.. but when we end up with that job, we realize that it even though we get paid more, it ends up stuffing up our personal life and our spiritual walk with God. How? It would require more time, which would lead to more stress, and maybe even isolating ourselves from fellow brothers and sisters, and slowly before you know it, it even stops us from coming to church! For me i'm just glad that some of my prayers were not taken seriously, because i can see that only God knows what the future will be like, and that His plan for me is ultimately the best plan. So if we ever want anything, we always gotta ask God about His opinion first.
Day 97.
Wow.. read about how Samuel anoints Saul as king. And the whole story just seems so amazing, because Samuel was so in tune with God, and said everythingwith such precision and accuracy. The directions given were so clear, and obvious that it is not made up from man, but definitely from God. This is something that seems to be rare these days, i don't know anyone who can do such a thing. Samuel must have had great faith to be able to confidently say what God is telling him, and believing without any doubt that it will come true. I pray that i will be able to do the same one day.
