MORNING MANNA 3-6-23
BETTER THAN BISCUITS
“ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”- Rom. 8:28
A pastor was hosting a men’s breakfast out in a farming community. He asked one of the older farmers to say grace before the meal. The old farmer said, “Lord, you know I hate buttermilk.” The pastor opened one eye to see where this was going. The farmer continued, “And Lord, I can’t stand the taste of lard.” Now the pastor was worried. He figured this old guy had lost it. The farmer kept praying. He said, “And Lord, I don’t really care for the taste of raw white flour.” By now the pastor was ready to interrupt the old man with a real prayer. But then the farmer prayer, “But Lord when you mix ‘em all together and bake ‘em up, I do love these fresh biscuits. So, Lord when things come up we don’t like; when life gets hard, when we don’t understand what You’re doing, we just need to relax and wait until You’re done mixin’ and probably it will be somethin’ even better than these biscuits. Amen.”
Even so there are a lot of things in life that we don’t like, some are very painful and beyond our ability to understand. But through faith in God’s precious promises we can be at peace knowing that God will make something good out of them. He never fails to keep His promises. – HDS
