Well 2 weeks ago, my church invited Pastor Mark Hankins and his lovely wife to preach to us. I just want to comment on one significant statement made by him. He said..
"You may get what you want but you may not want what you get"
This line seems kind of vague-ish but if you meditate on it, you may see some light in it. At least it suggests that sometimes, Abba may indeed grant us our prayers and wishes, but at times you do not get what you ask for. Instead you get something else from Abba instead.
For e.g., you ask Abba for a winning big sweep ticket of $2 million dolllars. Instead, you do not get it; but your neighbour's Dog has just given birth to many puppies. As a result, you get a cute puppy instead of the winning big sweep ticket. Maybe Abba feels that you are not ready to handle the $2million bucks yet, but he wants you to handle know to take care of a puppy first. Well Ha. its Abba's mysterious ways of doing things.
Let me know your thoughts k?

Yup, that is absolutely true. God's will may not be your will. But we should always choose to follow God's will because He knows us best. The key, I guess, is to be swift to listen to His voice, and never act on your own accord.

God is never silent. We are just blinded when we seemingly lost vision of Him. At times like this, prayer is the best weapon.

1 After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision:
"Do not be afraid, Abram.
I am your shield, [a]
your very great reward. [b] "
