You may have prayed long, asking the Lord to give you a good spouse, but none is coming. Oh, you are married. You have been praying for a child, and none is coming, and you want to get a new job, and there is no job. It seems he’s not hearing you. You ask, “Why me?” I tell you, you’re not alone. It happens every day with many people. But I want to assure you that the Lord did not abandon you. When Christ cried out, he was crying to the Father. “Why have you abandoned me?” But he knew God did not abandon him. And that will show you that God does not abandon you when you are in difficulty. Sometimes, we are looking for something, but it may not be the best for us.
It’s always good to have an open heart and know, after all, you have prayed for, say, “God, you know the best. Give me the best.” And His best is always the best.

Ecclesiastes 9:7, “Go eat your bread with enjoyment and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.” Listen. It is only when God approves what you do that you can be happy. Some of us take it the other way around. But God approves, and then happiness comes. In my development work, when a donor gives a gift of a water well to…

Finding God in Everything
Psalm 148, verse eight, says, “Fire and hail, snow and frost, stormy wind fulfilling his command.” I woke up this morning, and snow filled our whole compound. And I started to ponder: God is great. How did this all come about? You look up and don’t even see where it comes from, but somebody behind it has made it possible. What a mystery. This is not the first time I’ve seen snow…
