"When you're the most vulnerable,is when God has the greatest chance to work."

Think about this; if you have everything you could ever imagine. I'm talking financial security,the perfect spouse,a huge house,and so on...what do you need? We as humans can often let that get to our heads and we'd think nothing. Have you ever wondered why God would allow things to happen to someone such as job less,or sickness or something like that? If we're depenedent on Him,He's happy. He's a big jealous guy,and when we "don't need" Him,I can imagine He gets pretty hurt. Maybe He allows something to slow you down and make you focus on something else other than yourself or anything in the world that distracts you from Him.

I love Matthew. One of the best books in the Bible,and not a half bad name either. Matthew 7:11 says," If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!" God knows what you need and what you want. He promises to always provide,but I've learned you have to do three things first:

1)Ask him for whatever it is. Of course He knows,but I think He likes to hear you ask.
2)Believe He will do it. I could ask Him for 14 billion dollars,but if I didn't believe it would happen,it couldn't.
3)Know it's in His time. We are always in such a rush that we forget He is in control and we aren't.

So the next time you're set back,or feel in a rut,you're there for a reason. God might be slowing you down or trying to get your attention elsewhere. You have to believe He works everything out for good,whether you see it right now or not.
