While scrolling over Facebook posts, a video caught my attention. A man found himself alone, lost in the desert in search of water. He walked quite a while before he spotted a faucet in the distance. Tiny droplets of water fell into the hot desert sand. A drop of water was better than nothing, right? The hand of God descended from the heavens to lead him away from it.  Time after time, the man ignored the Lord’s guiding hand.

Finally, he made it! It wasn’t close to being enough to quench his thirst. It was better than nothing, right? He fell to his knees, covered in rags, sticking his tongue out to satisfy his hunger as one drop broke away from the valve opening. Satisfied, he went on his way. His thirst would have been quenched if he had only understood that God’s plan was much more significant. God’s intentions always go beyond secular boundaries. He would have had more than enough. “If you just listen and trust Me, I’ll pour a blessing on you that you can’t contain.” The desperate man forfeited a marvelous oasis with a total running fountain.

“God, help me to realize that something great lies ahead because You are in control. I don’t know what is ahead.” He doesn’t always reveal things.

We want our prayers to manifest through the divine order of God, not something we feel is right. What is He saying about the job, the vehicle, the house, or a struggling marriage? What instructions has He given about difficulties in general?  

Something within me has been released supernaturally. I sincerely desire to witness that all experience paramount dispensations walking with God. “God can make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:” 2 Corinthians 9:8 KJV
