Mid-Week Musings : Unanswered prayers - Living with a mystery
I've come across what John Baillie wrote :Let me use disappointment as a material for patience.
Let me use success as a material for thankfulness.
Let me use trouble as a material for perseverance.
Let me use danger as a material for courage.
Let me use reproach as a material for long suffering.
Let me use praise as a material for humility.
Let me use pleasure as a material for temperance.
Let me use pain as a material for endurance.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord.
~Isaiah 55:8~
"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
~Isaiah 55:9~
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in your weaknesses."
~2Cor 12:9~
"You do not have because you do not ask"
~James 4:2~
"Ask and it shall be given to you. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened."
~Matthew 7:7~
"...Christ in you, the hope of glory."
~Colossians 1:27~
At times I am dumb-founded and simply find it very hard within my spirit to reconcile all these...Ignorance is truly bliss. Ironically, knowledge is power. Probably it is the wisdom that I'm lacking...
