I Love Biscuits!

     The preacher asked a  new member of his church to pray for  the congregation during a church service.  He was surprised when the new member began… “Dear Lord, I hate lard… I also hate milk, and I hate flour.  But I sure do love biscuits.  All the things I hate, when put together in the right amounts and right temperature for the right amount of time and  ’Wala’,  good biscuits that I love.”  The preacher was disturbed by these words, but the man went on… “There are many things about Christianity that I don’t understand.   I hate suffering and pain, I hate it when things don’t go the way I think they should, I hate when I’m frustrated and confused, but If I just keep following You, things eventually turn out great.  Thank You God for being able to make something good of the things  that I hate.”

     Isn’t that the truth?  God has a plan for us to grow to be more like Jesus.  We may not understand, we may even ‘hate’ some of the things He wants from us.  But He has ways of taking the confusing things of this world and turn the tables and make us what He wants us to be.  But we must yield to His, His progress will make something beautiful and something good out of your life.  That is just the way God does things.  Are you with Him or against Him?   Are you letting God have His way with you?
