submitting to the stretch

Posted on October 24, 2012 by Jefferson Vann

SDC137871 Kings 17

Both Elijah and the widow of Zarephath learn the same lesson.  God will miraculously provide if need exists, but he might also occasionally place his children in a position where their faith is stretched.  He does this for his glory.  Our business is to cooperate with his plan, even when we cannot see how he is working out that plan.

LORD, we submit to your stretching.

    Thanks for the devotions being sent out. It gives me lots of food for thought and thinking opportunities to thank God for all he has done and is doing for us here. God Bless, John Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:06:33 +0000 To: jmidds@hotmail.com
