I love how God works things out! This past week has been a major struggle for me with things going on in my life. Today, though, was amazing!
Our reading story was perfect. It was about a little girl who kept asking God for something, but in her eyes, God did not answer her. She realized later that God had answered her request, but it had been 'no'. If God would have answered her request, she probably wouldn't have found her family again.
Then in Bible, our story was on Jarius, his daughter, and the woman with the issue of blood. Jesus wanted Jarius to trust him to heal his daughter. The woman who was sick trusted that if she could touch His hem, she would be healed. I love this story so much!
As I was sitting on the floor reading this (we had Bible on the floor today) I realized God just wants me to trust and rely on Him. God told me 'no' about something I wanted, but He is not rejecting me; He is just redirecting me.
I gave the kids this illustration today:
When using a GPS, but you know where you are going and decide not to follow it....what does it say....RECALCULATING!
We are the GPS while God is driving. We often plan our path the way we want to go. When God takes us down a road that we didn't plan on, we try to take control and recalculate. God is in control of our lives, and we need to let him guide and direct!
I love how He works! God is good all the time!! Totally needed all this today!!
