Receiving Gods Best

When I was a little girl my grandmother and I were out running errands. She told me that once we were finished, I could get a happy meal from McDonalds. Once we finished we went to Red Lobster. I was livid! I wanted a happy meal! Clearly Ref Lobster was the better choice.

Sometimes in life we want something so badly, we don't stop to realize we are living Gods best. Your spouse that's getting on your nerves is Gods best for you, the job that you hate, is Gods best for you, the spouse your waiting on is Gods best for you.

Rather than fighting so hard against where you currently are in love, life, work and ministry take a moment to look at where you are you may see your current circumstance is a result of Gods best for you.

God,
Thank you for giving us your best. Sometimes where we are doesn't look like we imagined it to be, or feel how we expect it to but we know that all things work together for our good. Father, we don't want the fast and easy when what you have for us is quality and takes time to develop. We apologize for trying to create what we think you have in store for us rather than trust your perfect will. Thank you for giving us your best, working your best in us, and preparing us to receive your best. In Jesus name.
Amen
