At one time there was a boy are following the race car racing toy. That day the atmosphere is very festive for having entered the final round, and the remaining only 5 people live longer, including Kevin, the name of the child.
Before the game started, Kevin bowed head, folded his hands while his mouth mumbling prayers.
Not long ago, it was a race car Kevin managed to beat 4 people rivals at the finish line. This made Kevin very happy when he received first prize trophy.
After distribution of prizes, chairman of the executive committee asked Kevin, "Hey Stud, you'd definitely pray to God that you won?" Kevin replied, "No sir, it's not fair to ask God to help defeat the others. I just ask the Lord, so I will not cry if I lose. "All the audience was silent when he heard the reply Kevin.
The silence did not last long because suddenly there was thunderous applause of the audience. They assess the request Kevin is a wonderful prayer, because he did not ask God to grant all requests, but he prayed that given the strength to face whatever happens with the heart a strong and unwavering.
Often we pray that God to fulfill our every request. We want God to make us the best at every opportunity. We ask for God to dispel any obstacles and temptations that exist in plain sight. It is not wrong, but should not we need is His guidance and His plan the most perfect in our lives?
We should pray for strength to accept God as the best in our lives.
We are the friend of God
Understand that we are a friend of God James 2:23 "In this way Scripture was fulfilled which says: And Abraham's trust in Allah, then Allah take it to him as righteousness," Because he was called the friend of God, "(Proverbs 17:17) "A friend loveth at all times and become a brother in difficulty," When the seed of faith that we have received from God (this is the Grace of God to us), actually we have been referred to as descendants of Abraham, our people believe it. Besides Abraham called the father of believers, he also referred to as the friend of God is also a friend of God because we have received the seed of faith from God. But many people do not realize that they are friends of God.
They do not realize if all this time the Holy Spirit, the Spirit Helper and Comforter, who has been in them that makes them still can survive.
We must know that God as a friend in the name of the Lord Jesus by the Holy Spirit never leaves us when we are in trouble, stress and suffering. Mighty hands power that has made us not fall in lying and is able to evoke a spirit that is in us anymore. Although it seems we are far from God and live in uncleanness, but God as a friend is never let go of our hands, He always wants to pull us back to living on the streets that have been defined, so that we can experience His promises in accordance with His design for us.
Let us continue to learn to remain thankful to God, because He has made us His friends are always put love in every time and become a brother in difficulty, and that "it was he who saved us and called us with an holy calling, not based on deeds us, but by his own purpose and grace, which has been given to us in Jesus Christ, before the beginning of time, "(2 Timothy 1:9) Amen.
