"There came a man who was sent from God: his name was john. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so thaty through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light." --John 1:6-8

I was pretty shocked myself.
Have a great day!
Last Wednesday our youth was studying a devotion of how God reveals Himself, prayers and plans He has for us in special way…. Think about I have taken on a BIG landscape project at my home, three trees and a lot of clay soil with many rocks making dig a problem! I have an empty backdrop and I plan to decorate the bare space with plants… I have a plan but could I reveal it all at once to finish the project or just reveal it gradually??
In Mark 8:22-25 Jesus did heal the man who was blind, but He chooses to heal him differently than we think… Jesus could have healed him instantly but Jesus heals the man gradually over a period of steps to avoid overload.
Just like the healing process of the man, I too an working on the landscape project over a period of time to prevent myself from overloading, sure some things can be done in a day… but it best to have a master plan and break it down to gradually work over a time to avoid overloading. Sometime we get so busy in life that we needed to be reminded to take the time and work in one specific area and the rest will fall into place. Look how God answers prayer… sometimes instantly but other time its gradually over a period of time… after all its according to HIS will not ours!
