Dear God,
First, my car broke down
I was very late for work
But I missed that awful accident
Was that your handiwork?
I found a house I loved
But others got there first
I was angry, then relieved
When I heard the pipes had burst!
Yesterday, I found the perfect dress
But the color was too pale
Today, I found the dress in red
Would you believe, it was on sale!
I know you're watching over me
And I'm feeling truly blessed
For no matter what I pray for
You always know what's best!
A friend was driving with her two children in the car. Her 7 year old son kept asking the traditional question, "How much longer?"
The Mom told him it was not much farther but he kept fussing. Finally, the tiny voice of her 5 year old daughter floated forward with great wisdom.
She said, "The road is short but the way is long."
"Even though we do not know what is around every bend in the road, God does."
- David Jeremiah
You don't need to know all of your answers in advance to solve a problem or to reach your goal. But you must have a clear idea of the problem or the goal you want to reach in advance.
Everyone who achieved success in a great venture, solved their problems as they came to them. They helped themselves. And they were helped through powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. They kept going regardless of the obstacles they met.
