HE ANSWERED OUR PRAYER


Ezra 8:23 (NKJV) 23 So we fasted and entreated our God for this, and He answered our prayer. 
    Everyone wants to do the right thing, for somethings in their life, there is the desire to accomplish things the way they were intended. What is right and what is wrong, is a curious thinking process, so what is the answer, I am so glad you asked?
    Years ago I met a young man who was responsible for writing instructions, for the assembly of popular toys made in America. His job was to make as easily and clearly as possible the task of assembly. We laughed about the parts list and always having something left over, then he said, "If it wasn't for the alcohol and drugs, I couldn't do the job." What?
    A short time later, I asked Christ to come into my life and everything took on new meaning for me and my family. God became the center of our lives and we soon learned Jesus has the answer for all my questions about right and wrong living and the choices we are to make. He gave the instruction booklet that  has all the tools needed, the proper place for each piece, the correct attitude for applications and how to avoid the wrong choices. God gave instructions that work, and never have parts left over.
   Ezra says, "We fasted, prayed, and God answered," that is exactly how it works. Trust the instructions of the word of God and you will find He will answer your prayers as well. Let Christ have first place in your life and He will fill you with all you need, to accomplish the living of this life.
    Simply confess you have been writing your own instructions under the wrong influence of your ideas, ask Him to forgive you and give you the instructions that will complete your life. Read Romans 10:8-11 and trust God with all your heart, He will answer your prayers too!
Heavenly Father, let me seek you early, that the instructions might be fresh on my mind all day, may the plans you have given me make it clear for others to find You as well. Amen
