I hope you enjoy

An odd combination of Reformed theology posts, Bob Dylan out takes, gluten-free recipes, thoughts of mine, and anything else I find interesting on the interwebs. I hope you enjoy.

"We are big on praying for answers, but not big on waiting for them."

"We are big on praying for answers, but not big on waiting for them. We figure if we've prayed about something, it's been heard and blessed. But God so often asks us to wait for his timing, and this waiting hurts. It's so hard to be patient when you want something now. The world, and the prosperity gospel, teach us to seize opportunities and chase after our dreams. But the Bible says, "Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart" (Ps. 37:4). Become pliable to the Lord, submit yourself to him, and then will give you the desires of your heart. Why? Because his desires will have become your desires, not the other way around."
