I was given a verse today, Psalm 106:15, that scared me a bit:
Although He granted their request,
He also sent a disease that caused
them to waste away.
We see this from time to time where God finally relents to
the groaning’s and prayers of his people. Where they get what they have been
asking for and either realize it was not “all that” or God dries up the
connection. Or even worse the “blessing” becomes an idol and the people end up
getting punished.
Mine is a long story, but I have been blessed beyond my
dreams and I had very big dreams. In a nutshell it started 30 years ago with a
dream and is coming to an end soon. It revolves around a “paradise” that I
wanted here on earth and am not appearing to get there. From start to now God
has been working on me on many avenues. First my initial ideal of what I wanted
were not really right for what I wanted, if that makes sense.
My second problem was I would not have been a wise steward
early on and would have been in bad shape. Now we get to today. I found a home
on Zillow months ago that was “it” but as not the configuration we needed for
the money. Well as time went on, it came down in price and Katy saw it. She
decided it was perfect and wanted it also, so we started the journey. Through
ups and downs we are moving in soon and could not be happier.
My concern is did God relent or is He truly blessing us for diligent
work for the kingdom? Time will tell, and this blog will be a testament if I
get lost in the world or if I live for God.
All I can say right now is my gratitude cannot be expressed
in words!!
