God's provision for tomorrow

Lord, thank You for opening up this scroll.

Are we prepared to receive what God will put forth in our lives?

More often then not, we are not. Last week the pastor asked what we worry about in our lives. Both he and I went through the very things based upon that question. We were put through our fire of worries- and it was not fun. The pastor shared that he went through a troubling time w/ his wife. I certainly experienced and lived the worries that had caused me to rebel against God.

Hindsight has shown me that God was putting forth an action in our lives that we struggle on- based on the question. And we were not prepared for it... we never are.

Learning to listen and recognize God's direction that He reveals to us, is going to take a lot of practice. He does actively live in our lives. Christ did nothing on His own, but only that of which God had told Him to do. Jesus didn't 'do-nothing' in order to find out the will of God. He had to work at it. He continually prayed for the provision God was going to put forth for the up coming scenarios. So, as we continue to do 'nothing' to prepare us for what God is going to put us through.

Peter wasn't very prepared to walk on water, although he did momentarily. But, God put waves upon the waters that attacked his weaknesses. He wasn't fully prepared and ended up sinking, only to call out to the messiah. It is okay to fail, but only if we learn from our trials so that we can rest in His peace and learn to trust in Him to look for His helping hand as we sink into the water.

So, my question is... will you be ready tomorrow for what God is going to put you through.
