We are all familiar,
in some form or another, with Mark 11:24
“So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have
received it, and it will be yours.” Versions
also appear in Matthew, Luke and John.
It almost sounds like we are being given a blanket promise with no
conditions. Win-Win for us all! Right?
Well, not really. I’m pretty sure God will not give us anything
that is not good for us. And then there
is the verse I found just the other day from James 4:3 “You ask and do not receive, because you ask
wrongly, to spend it on your passions.”
So, there you
go! God will not give us anything that
won’t be good for us and/or that we really don’t need. He always has our best interests at
heart! Count your blessings! And feel free to quote James 4:3 the next time someone throws that old ask and receive conundrum your way....
I will be traveling
all day hence the short blog!
Have a great day!
