One super-early
Sunday morning I felt like God was calling me out of bed. The previous Friday and Saturday mornings He
called me but I didn’t go!! (Shame,
Laura.) I reasoned my way “out” of
it. But on Sunday morning around 4 a.m. I
finally obeyed. (Hallelujah!) All I heard was God saying,
“Trust Me. I’ll show you.” And as a true disobedient child I replied, “But
it’s dark and if I make noise or put a light on it will surely wake someone
(Jordan) and I’ll have company this early…”
“Trust Me”
was all I kept hearing. So I plodded
forward through my house and into the kids room where the light was dimly
on. “But I’m going to hurt my eyes in
this light” was what I told the Light of the world. God continued to say, “Trust Me.” So I turned into the room and He turned me
right toward the night light. I was so
awed at God! The night light was bright
enough for my little tender eyes to see the Word I was about to be shown.
James 1:2-4 was
where I began but then He nudged me to read on to verses five and six. Oh, how blessed I felt! Even though I had been a tough cookie in
all my disobedience, He continued to have great compassion on me. His perseverance in love just overwhelmed
me. His confidence in what He had
planned for me was remarkable – this is our God.
Lately I’ve
been reading through 1 & 2 Chronicles and specifically about the wisdom God
gave Solomon to lead His people, Israel.
And here in James 1:5-6 He shows that His wisdom is available to us, for
the asking! Just ask in faith, without
doubting and He is faithful to supply.
As we desire
to lead our children in this world, let us do it with His wisdom.
