WW: July 15th Edition - Papa John
"Sometimes what we think we really want we don't"
I loved this comment on FACEBOOK . I didn’t take time to ask our former Intern what she meant by it but it really got me thinking.
I remembered back as a little boy just dying to buy a little portable tape recorder. It wasn’t a month before I was tired of it and wanting a better one. And all those cereal box offers- the stuff was never as good as I thought it was going to be.
A new bike- I just couldn’t wait to get it- but it wasn’t long before the new wore off and I went back to riding my old beat-up hand-me-down bike. The same thing happened with my first car- my glow faded the first few months.
And all those “misses Right” I met before the Lord brought Judy and I together- sure glad the Lord didn’t answer all those prayers. LOL!
Bottom Line principle I have learned: Pray hard about important decisions and try to check my motive, “Why do I want this. Is it going to hinder my walk?”, and similar questions.
I’ve found if the desire was from self or the enemy, I am always disappointed. But if the Lord makes it happens…it’s usually better than I could have ever imagined.
Remember the old saying: “God always give His best to those who leave the choice with Him”.
