I remember there was a guest speaker coming to FGT to teach in SOTB back in 2010 and he was saying that God is not the kind of dictator who doesn't care about the workers... No, God cares about His servants' interest, even though it might not directly related to the house benefit.
God the Father is loving, like an earthly father who loves & cares for his children. And if the child, who has been behaving well and pleasing to his eyes, asks for some ice cream, will the father refuses him/her? I think he ought to, if the son/daughter has ice cream everyday =p but if it's just once in a while, it will cause no harm, and so why not? He wants his son/daughter to be happy and it's a safe thing to do.
And the preacher went on telling his story of how he desired a huge motorbike, yet he hasn't got the chance to get one because even though he really wants it, he's put his priority based on the benefit to his household and his service to God. He did pray about his desire for a huge motorbike though! Once he had enough money to get a decent one, but he had to let it slips away for something else urgent. But lo & behold, at the end he still got the motorbike, better than the one he planned to get, to his surprise! He was amazed that God would grant his wish, eventhough it's not related to his ministry, and so he was convinced of what a loving King, as told in the bible, whom he serves..
That time I had 3 things in my mind that I really want. Now that i think of them, 1 of them had been granted! I thought it was impossible, but yeah I got it, my choc-mint; I actually came back to Oz! And it's been another journey, through many seasons I stumbled and got up. I'll keep walking and learning, maybe sometimes I'll dance, sometimes I'll crawl, sometimes I'll rest but because of His grace, I will not turn back, I will move forward =D
And the rest of them... God knows that one of the two is a struggle to me, & I am still praying for it, and that is my current desire aside from he Kingdom. When can i have this particular vanilla ice cream? lo & behold!
