When we petition God, it may do us well to examine our hearts and motives before we ask.

The truth is that much of what we ask of God has nothing to do with honoring Him or aligning ourselves with His will.

We want salve for our wounds, we

want to satisfy our appetites, we want to stroke our egos, and we want to stabilize our own schemes and plans. While the truth is, God’s will is actually just an afterthought! 

Do we want to do God’s will?  Really?

Before you flinch, know that I’m not hurling stones at anyone, inasmuch as I am inspecting the contents of my own heart and examining my whys.   Everyone of us needs time for reflection and introspection, so we can reset and adjust ourselves to God’s plans.  

Time and circumstance can cause the most sturdy of us to drift. But, this morning is as good a time as any to realign.  

In building bridges or any other large structure, being off by just a few inches at the beginning can become miles by the time one finishes!   Get it?

Yet you do not have, because you do not ask. ³ You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

James 4:2-3

Good Morning, I love you all!
