God is a Flashlight!


First off, I want to say thank you to Ronny, for allowing me to share some thoughts with you today. I know I'm not as good looking as he is, but I'm writing, so...I think it evens out.
Almost!

Have you ever thought about the end results of a task or assignment or goal you've had in life?

So often we have grand ideas and visions of what the future will be and how much God will bless us, and yet we have such a focus on what we will get out of it, rather than what God will! We are only given what God allows us to have, and so often we think we need something and it is completely be God-ordained and right for us, and thus God (though we will NEVER admit it) better give it to us, now! But so many times, we have no clue what is needed for us or not, because we only have a tiny scope of the picture God has laid out for our lives.

God is perfect, and He knows what is best for us, but like my favorite book Tale of Three Kings says, He's not telling!

Remember when Jesus gave us the Lord's prayer, He told us to pray, give us this day, our daily bread. Daily bread! That's it! Only enough for our day today, not tomorrow, not next week, not next year, but today!

And because of that, God is a flashlight for our path, not a gigantic spotlight showing us everything (though He can if He wanted to), just a flashlight, a Perfect Flashlight, giving us exactly what we need, everyday!

So today, think about how you can bless your Flashlight today! How can you put your own self aside and let God take to where He wants you to go, because that is perfect, not where you want to go because it seems right?

Thanks for listening...err...reading with me today.
Well see ya later...
