Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of James 4:3 which says "When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures."
"Now, what about when you ask and you don’t receive? What would have happened if I had asked the bus driver for help and he said, I am sorry I am not your bus, but you can wait back at the stop it should be there soon.
The reality is, you don’t always get what you want. You don’t always get what you ask for.
Maybe the things you are praying for, God won’t give them to you. And maybe it upsets you. Maybe it frustrates you, but have you even thought of the ways it blesses you? Maybe he needs you to wait for the right bus to come and pick you up. Maybe he wants you to learn patience, or maybe he is purposely withholding events from you, for your good.
We all face different mountains and some of us, needed to hear this bus story and remember to ask for help on our journey. Other’s of us need to wait for the right bus to come into our lives and take us to our destination. Wherever you are, remember there is only one person calling the shots here and it wasn’t me, it was the bus driver.
Life is no different, the bus driver is Jesus and he is calling the shots."
