None of us like being told no…I think it is just pretty much in that nature of ours…we think we know what we need, what we want, and how it’s suppose to be…so when we don’t get it our way, we get pretty irrational sometimes…we may whine around and throw a little hissy fit like a child…but you know I am so extra thankful to the Lord in all of His wisdom and infinite grace…that He didn’t give me and my family all of them things that we thought we needed…I’m so thankful for a God who loves us so much that He see’s the future and looks out for us…and that He gives us truly what it is that we do need…and doesn’t give us them things that He knows that we don’t need…you know years ago, we prayed…we cried…we fasted…you name it we did it…seeking out the answers to them things we thought we were needing in our lives…shoot we even was rebuking that ole devil…putting him under our feet…because in our minds we thought that the things we were praying for was them things that God was wanting for us and our lives at  that time…only to realize that later on, it wasn’t the devil at all…it was God..and He was stopping everything in our lives…He was saying them no’s that we did not want to be hearing…was it easy hearing no…absolutely not, it was not at all an easy thing for us…through everything we had already gone through, that pretty much took the cake there, when all directions were no’s….but Praise the name of the Lord…years later and looking back we understood the no’s…we understood why the Lord was saying no!….because the things that we were praying for, wasn’t the things that was in Gods plan and Gods will for our lives…for you see the bible says that God knows us, before He even formed us in our Mothers wombs He knew us..Jeremiah 1:5…and as well the word says that Gods ways are not our ways, His thoughts are not our thoughts, for Gods ways and His thoughts are much higher than ours…Isaiah 55:9..for you see the steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord..Psalm 37:23..so just know guys that things may not be going your way today in your life..and your prayers in which you are praying may not seem to be getting answered the way that you feel they should be..or that there not getting answered at all…but I’ve come to remind you that God is answering you…and know that they may not be what you want to hear, because no’s as I said are never easy…but trust Gods no’s…cause sometimes we fight Gods answers and it is nothing to do with the enemy…but it’s all to do with God…for He says He knows the thoughts that He thinks towards us, thoughts of peace and not of evil, thoughts to give us an expected end…Jeremiah 29:11…so accept whatever it is the answers may be…for God doesn’t forsake His children…and God our God is a good God…so trust Him today…for He tells us that in all of our ways that we are to acknowledge Him and that He will direct our path..Proverbs 3:6…for Gods no’s are best!…and if God is saying no, it’s because it’s not His best for you and your life…for if He takes something away…He as well always replaces it with something better…We serve a Great big God…and He loves you, each of your dearly…so keep praying…and keep your eyes always on Jesus…for Jesus hears you, and He is working it all our for you..Romans 8:28..but whatever you do, don’t grow weary in your well doing for in due season you shall reap if you faint not..Galatians 6:9…In Jesus’ name I do ask and pray…Amen and Amen!! Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
