We think of God as a genie who functions by giving us all that we desire. We have goals and dreams, and we tell God how we want Him to move in our lives. However, God doesn’t operate that way, and it’s important for us to understand that sometimes the answer to our requests before God is “no.”
Think about times you felt that something was God’s plan for your life, but then it is stopped and God reveals, “That is not My plan. It’s a great idea, but not My plan for you.”
That’s hard to hear, especially when you really believe the plan is a good one that will benefit the Kingdom of God.
David was a king. He was a musician, a writer, a psalmist, a praiser, but he was also a man of war.
