Earlier this week I posted a picture of a meal that I thoroughly enjoyed while out with my brother, Ken. We went out to a local Fish Market and upon arriving began to look at the extensive Menu of items that were available. I have to tell you that everything looked good but I had an expectation or a DESIRE of having a certain dish even before arriving. However, after searching the Menu, I quickly discovered that what I DESIRED wasn’t offered…at least it wasn’t on the printed Menu. When the server came to the table to take our Order I could’ve settled for what was being offered, BUT I really DESIRED the Catfish! So I asked “I noticed that there is no Menu selection for Catfish and I kind of had my heart set on Catfish”, she responded “We have it, it just isn't on the Menu.” Wow, a big smile and a hearty…”I’LL HAVE THE CATFISH” followed. You see, TODAY the world has provided you a “Menu” of items to choose from…decisions to be made and perhaps the choices that are in front of you may not be what you have set in your heart or what you DESIRE for yourself or for someone else (Healing, Peace of Mind, Restored Relationships, Family Unity or Comfort in the face of Difficult Situations). However, the Word of God says “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye DESIRE, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. (Mark 11:24; Matt 6:32-34 KJV)
Finish strong and don’t settle for wrong, you have more options than you can see in front of you on TODAY. Have a great weekend!
