MORNING MANNA             3-7-26

March 7, 2026 By Pastor David Stone

MORNING MANNA                 3-7-26
GETTING WHAT WE NEED WHEN WE DON’T GET WHAT WE DESIRE 

“And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭

It’s obvious that things don’t always happen as we please or pray. But we can rest assured that whatever God plans or permits is better than the path we would have chosen. An example of this is found in the prayer of an unknown Confederate soldier.

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health, that I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.

I asked for riches, that I might be happy.
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing I asked for–but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I, among all men, am most richly blessed!
So am I –  HDS
