Often times we are brought through a cloudy situation as being veiled by things vague yet real, something of the future yet the need of the present, the memory of the past yet the feeling of the present. And often we wonder why? No doubt this leads us to turn to the living God, and hones our faith in Christ Jesus, yet something mysterious, inexplicable clogs our heart issuing in a sense of burden as a caged bird fluttering to be released. Prayer, and prayer and prayer follows suit. Still all seems the same. And one continues to wonder why?
The Lord is sovereign and He knows what's best and when. In this process of wearying in a miry clay of uncertainty, nevertheless, faith firm in Him, the Lord has a definite way to dispense Himself into us. Prayers; answer or no answer, is not the answer. The answer is, God is dispensing Himself into to us, through our contacting Him amidst desperation. His concern is not if our prayers are answered or not, rather His concern is whether we gain Him or not through the cloudy, stormy, slippery path we are treading on. And much more, His concern is, if His concern has become our concern and not vice versa. He wants to gain us, all the more, in all circumstances, good or bad.
Should we not just let his concern be our concern?
O Lord Jesus Christ, gain me! I need Thee!
