A Nagging Question - Answered

Soon I want to do a post about the procedure I have for my daily Time Alone with God. Having a consistant, meaningful time I set aside for God has always been a struggle for me, but God has blessed me the past month with a fresh approach.

Today during the Listening portion of this time, God laid something on my heart and answered a nagging question.

Did you read yesterday's post about The Barbarian Way? If not, you may want to read that first.

I have had this doubtful thought sneaking up on me occasionally the past four or five months. The thought goes something like this:

"Why does God seemingly miraculously cure some dieing, pleading cancer patients, but not physically pluck cars full of drowning, pleading passengers out of ponds?"

I know that probably sounds like a ridiculous thing to waste my time pondering, but lets face it, God could pluck a car out of a pond just as easily as He could cure a cancer patient. Why does he seem to only do the less obvious of the two?

Remember yesterday's "Cool thing to remember?" God reminded me of it during my time with Him this morning.

"Do not fall away from Christ because of the great things He has done for some, but knows would be better left undone for others."

Those are the words I wrote regarding Matthew 11:6.

Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me. Matthew 11:6

I was thinking in the exact way that Jesus told John not to think in this verse.

I'm thankful I was listening when God spoke to me this morning. God does know what would be better left undone.
