A view of the funny side of discovering GOD's plan
I love my sense of humor with God. He knows I need that type of relationship. So, my quiet time, this week, I’m studying PSALM 34, and a portion of verse 10, jumps out at me:
But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing
And of course, I can’t read anything else, because I can only start singing Fine Young Cannibals, “My good thing…where have you gone? You’ve been gone too long.”
And I started laughing. Because it was like God and I were having a conversation, as if we bumped into each other at the super market, and he was giving me a hard time, elbow in the ribs, teasing me because I haven’t been to church in years and just started going again, and trying to read the Bible. (and grudgingly apply what I’m told)
See, that’s the issue I have. I’m always afraid of what I will be asked to do. Then, I get a funny from God. Like all is Good, in the house. I read the lyrics of the song, and although the artist wrote them about a significant other leaving him, they could easily have been words to me:
“Good-god, woman. Where’ve you been? You were gone so long. But who cares, I’m so happy you’re back!”
