Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest. (Ecclesiastes 11:4 NLT)
Sisters, I want to share a moment I experienced recently to show just how easy it is to try to do the Lord’s will our own way. Each day, I pray and ask God for the wisdom to make choices that please Him, because my desire really is to please God. (I felt the need to share that before I describe what happened.) So, here we go…
One Sunday morning, God spoke to me and told me to call a Manna Sister to share a word from Him. I looked at the clock and figured, “Well, she’s probably getting ready for church, so I’ll call her when I return from service.” I continued my morning reading.
A few minutes later, God spoke to me again and told me to call her. Once again, I looked at the time and decided that I would text her “thus saith the Lord.” The Holy Spirit stopped me in my tracks and asked me, “Did I tell you to text her?”
Immediately, I realized that I had heard God’s instruction, but I had not done what He told me to do. I was so disappointed in myself, especially since I shared at the beginning of this entrée that I pray daily for wisdom to make choices that please the Lord. I called the Manna Sister at that moment and told her what God had shared with me. She let out a deep sigh and said, “I needed to hear that.”
