I don't want a flat tire

Knowing your day is orchestrated by the Lord is something I am constantly aware of. I wonder if I am alone in that. There's just this surety as my day unfolds that HE has a hand in everything that is allowed in or out of my goings-on that brings me both comfort and a pause at the mystery of it all.

It also keeps me in this state of awareness of His Presence. I am having to borrow a friends car while ours is getting a new motor. Our friends had put it to rest for awhile prior to getting new tires...and then we called with a need. So, obviously, I could get a flat tire. So how does this fit into "your day is orchestrated by the Lord"?

Here's how I roll...First, I tell the Lord I don't want a flat tire and I tell Him that He has told me to come boldly before the throne and ask in the spirit of a little child who knows that her Father wants to give her "good things". And He has also told me "you don't get because you never ask!"

So I ask. Abba Father, (that means "daddy" in aline language), I surely don't want a flat tire! And then comes this "But" that always follows that request for me! BUT Lord, the ULTIMATE example of your Son and My Savior, revealed in His life example, is that we can request but we must also TRUST.

Remember my tag line a few days ago? "Trust vs try and Rest vs Struggle?" I always say BUT I trust YOU are orchestrating my day and if you allow a flat tire or any other frustrating thing in just help me to exemplify Your Character, learn what You want me to learn, and trust that You are all up in it! So after I prayed my prayer I read this passage from Psalms 107: 9

"For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, and the hungry soul He has filled with what is good".

Dear Father, You want to satisfy the thirsty and feed the hungry soul but so often it does not hunger and thirst for "righteousness". Help me to hunger and thirst for only Your Righteousness today Lord and everything that you allow in or take out of my day will be used for Your Glory. aline
