Get Real!
'And how bold and free we then become in his presence, freely asking according to his will, sure that he's listening.' 1 JOHN 5:14
You know it would be pointless to keep asking the school's Head Teacher to let you play sports or computer games all day, don't you? You know it would be pointless to walk into a bank and ask them to give you as much money as you wanted whenever you wanted it, don't you? Why?
Because these things will never happen will they? If the teacher and the bank manager agreed to your request they wouldn't be doing their job properly would they? Be careful you don't keep asking God for pointless things!
Just like the teacher and the bank manager, God has got a plan of how best to do things. And get this; He knows what's best! So if you come along with a stupid request like, 'make me invisible so I can go and spy on everyone in school', you should know its not going to happen! And that's not because God isn't listening or doesn't care. It's because you are asking Him to go against what He knows is right and He will never do that!
Even if your reason for wanting to be invisible is valid; like you want to find out what the school bullies are planning, so you can stop it before it happens; God won't do it! So get real! Tap into God's agenda and know with confidence He is listening and will act!
