Have you ever prayed for something and waited for an answer from God - only for the answer not to be the one you really wanted. I know I have!

There’s an old story about a man who is stuck at the bottom of a cliff, with the sea threatening to drown him so He cries out to God. In the story God hears the prayer and sends a man in a boat, then a helicopter with a winch and finally a couple who spot the man while walking their dog who are willing to rescue that man.

Each time the man on the rocks refuses the help “because he is waiting for God to rescue him”.

The story continues that the man eventually drowns and, when he meets Peter in heaven, he demands to know why God did not rescue him - only to be told that God actually did send three rescuers...

If you’re crying to God for help, remember that he really did send a helper and His name is Jesus Christ: Jesus died a horrible death, some 2,000 years ago, for you and I in order that we can have a relationship with God, an assurance of our eternal destination and an overwhelming peace in this life.

None of that was possible without the sacrifice Jesus made in laying His life down for others.

So, if you ask God for help, be willing to swallow your pride and take the help He offers. Because it may not be what you were hoping for. But, when God helps you, it will always be exactly what you need.

Just a thought…
