Our petitions, our requests, our cries to
the Lord, therefore, should be for the holiness of heart, for the
filling of His Spirit, for the spiritual food, refreshment,
strength; and as for the natural things, He knows the way we take
and what would be to our best interests as Christians. We are to
leave this to Him; He would not be pleased to see us importuning Him
for things which He did not give us, for to do so would not be an
exemplification of faith in Him, but the reverse an exemplification
of doubt, a manifestation of fear that He was forgetting or
neglecting His promise to give us the things
needful. |
