17/09/2014 YOUR KNEES, AND YOUR NEEDS 5; WHERE DO YOU TURN? Prayer is not conquering God’s reluctance, but taking hold of God’s willingness. - Phillips Brooks Life, usually tends to set us up with situations; some of which were unable to provide solution. Some at other times, are confusing or conflicting, and some both confusing and conflicting. At such times its best to turn over, those difficult issues to the creator of the earth, and everything in it. A farmer had two married daughters, he often visited them; one was married to a farmer and the other married to a potter. During one of his visits, the farmers wife requested for him to pray for frequent rains, their growing crops were badly in need of water, and there seemed to be draught. He agreed. Just then, his younger daughter - the potters wife - called and requested that he pray for more sunshine, since they needed the heat to harden their clay pots. Totally confused, he prayed “God, do as you wish. May your will be done. Have you come to confusing and difficult situations in life? Its time to turn to God in prayer, like the confused father. God has plans to bring us prosperity and not disaster. He knows best what we need for each season. Beloved, when all else fails pray to God, through Jesus Christ. Praying about every situation, challenge or confusion is the best and right thing to do. Moses and Aaron had gotten to a point where they knew, they - by themselves - couldnt provide any solution to the need in the camp, all they could do was turn to God. When, that arm of flesh fails, its time to look no further, TURN to God on Your knees, and your face to the ground! WISDOM NUGGET: Numbers 20:5 - 6 ...And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto them. - NASV Let us pray: Father, I turn to you in my predicament today, dispel my confusion
