God knows our hearts and our situation. Just last night, our family has been discussing some struggles. thought of solutions and at the end prayed about it. And today, I was so blessed and encouraged by my devotional reading in Streams of the Desert. Even if this devotional book was written over 50 years ago, but the exhortation of God's word through this just went right through my heart and deals with our present situation.
Here is an excerpt of that reading:
Bring them here to me ( Matthew 14:18)
Do you find yourself at this very moment surrounded with needs, and nearly overwhelmed with difficulties, trials, and emergencies? Each of these is God's way of providiing vessels for the Holy Spirit to fill you. If you correctly understand their meaning, you will see them as opportunities for receiving new blessings and deliverance you can receive in no other way.
THe Lord is saying to you, " Bring them here to me." Firmlu hold the vessels before HIm, in faith and in prayer. Remain still before Him, and stop you own restless working until He begins to work. DO nothing that He Himself has not commanded you to do. Allow God time to work and He surely will. Then the very trials that threathened to overcome you with discouragement and disaster will become God's opportunity to reveal His grace and glory in your lif, in ways you have never known before.
" Bring ( your needs) here to me. "
