Trust God

Today God used my 2 month old Ezra to demonstrate a lesson I’m still learning.

It was time for Ezra to have a bottle before his daily nap. Anytime I give Ezra a bottle, I stop feeding him after he’s had 2 oz to burp him. This isn’t anything knew BUT to him it’s the end of the world and he’s starving (what I perceive by his screaming and crying lol).
While I’m patting his back, waiting for a burp, whether big or small, Ezra was NOT happy to say the least. But being his loving mother, I talk to him. As I was trying to sooth him with my words, I found myself saying what I believe our Heavenly Father was wanting to say to me about a situation I find myself not understanding. My words were just this, “Ezra, I know you don’t understand what I’m doing, but I love you very much and I don’t want to give you too much milk at one time; it won’t be good for you. I know how much to give you, so you just have to wait. I promise I’m going to feed you, I’m your mama, I won’t let you starve.”
(Yes, I said all of that to my baby lol)
*BURP*
I proceed to give him the rest of his bottle. With a full tummy he looks at me with contentment and as I rock him he falls asleep.

Y’all! How many times have we asked God for something we know we need and we know He knows we need?!?! How many times have we cried and screamed when we didn’t understand what God was doing or when we didn’t get what we wanted right away? All the while our Father talks to us (in different ways) letting us know it’s going to be more than ok and He will provide what we need in His time.
You see, as we grow in Christ we must come to a point where we fully trust and know the love our Father has for us, even when we don’t understand all that’s taking place behind the scenes or even what the full purpose is. I mean after all we are His children! We just have to be a bit uncomfortable with not knowing exactly when He will deliver that promise of meeting our need BUT be completely comfortable knowing HE WILL DELIVER because HE IS FAITHFUL and HE is ALWAYS ON TIME!

Be Encouraged. Trust God.

“If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”-Luke 11:13 ESV

“But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!”-Luke 12:28 ESV
