Welcome to my first blog post. I've decided to share some of my thoughts from my devotionals because I just can't keep quiet about them! When I read Gods Word, I just want to burst with excitement about the things He reveals to me; however, I will try to contain myself try to focus on one thought per post. :)
This morning, I was reading 1 John 5:14,15. The New International Version (NIV) says this: "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us--whatever we ask--we know that we have what we asked of him." All of a sudden, it hit me. It's not that God will just hand over whatever we want or ask for, just because we pray for it; it's that it has first got to be His will, and then the scripture says He will hear us and we will have that in which we ask. Rather than think of the word hear I would rather think of the word acknowledge because God always hears our prayers.
Here's a possible question you may have: How do I know if it's His will for me to get what if I ask for? I would say that if you received your request without having to manipulate the situation to attain whatever it is, it must have been aligned in His will.
Whenever you're in doubt, pray about it. Thanks for reading my post. I hope to write often. God bless you and goodnight!
