Heart Condition?

Have you ever had God harden your heart? Do you thing God still does things like that today? This is something that has had me thinking for more than a year now. It is a difficult thing. For years I had prayed asking God to answer certain prayers any way possible. WOW! Did God ever answer those prayers. Well some are still in the works. After a situation more than two years ago I have not been able to pray that way whole heartedly. It is so interesting how God works in our lives and how He brings us to the place we need to be.

It makes me think of the accident in March, a young college boy hit a Tour Bus head on and was killed immediately. I firmly believe that when we are to die God will allow it to happen in such a way that the most good will come out of it. So I wonder who is going to benefit by that and why. Oh, I suppose they are questions I am waisting my time on. God knows and the ones that need to know will know.

I see time and time again how God uses our situations for His good. Yes, all things work out for good. And the world wants to see it be for what they think is good. But what does God see as good. I do not see any man on this earth able to fully answer that question. We may see bits and pieces of God's good, yet we (on this earth) cannot ever know the whole of God's good. With our History lessons (with home schooling) I am starting to understand (only a start) what God sees.

How many times during the Judges did God's people turn from God and go a whoring? Every judge. Wow! What does that have to tell us about man and what will happen with our children? Grandchildren? Thats my ramblings for the night. God bless you and Keep you. Yes, that is a prayer I thank God for almost daily, God has keep me through many many times of giving up. Praise God for never giving up on me. Scripture tells me that God will finish the good work He started in me. Praise God He is not done with me. There is HOPE.

Think about when you discipline your kids. They hate it-usually-but it is for their good. They may not understand it now and may even dispise you for enforcing it. It is the same with God. He has things come into our lives to test, encourage adn even discipline us and while it may not feel good to us, God thinks we need it! Well, He actually *knows* we need it!
