Choose Wisdom, Part 3

Hands
Faith is interesting. It’s not believing that God can, but knowing that He will. When we pray and ask God for something, we must add faith to our prayers and have an expectation that He will answer them.

“The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish tears it down with her own hands.” Proverbs 14:1

A wise woman prays and expects God to answer. She looks and waits for His answer with excitement, but she’s not surprised because she was expecting it.

A foolish woman may pray, but she really doesn’t expect God to do what she asks. When the answer comes she wonders if it was just a coincidence.

A Word to the Wise - Allow God to answer your prayers not according to your will, but His will. His answers may be packaged differently than you would expect. Romans 8:28

I want to be a wise woman... not foolish. I want to be spirit led and not carnal. Love this. I really get it today. His answers may be packaged differently.And that happens often.. but today the most recent prayer was answered exactly. How God got there surprised the pants off me... our prayers matter. Thanks Mom.
