God Wants To Do Something For You

In our lives in this modern world it is very rare that we find who want to do something for others. Maybe it's treating them to a breakfast, maybe it's paying for their car to be washed. It could be a gift, either financial or otherwise. Men usually don't all fit into this category of wanting to do something for others. I know, I was there and I learned from my lovely wife that doing something for others glorifies our loving God. 1 Samuel 22:3 [b - second part of verse] states, "... until I know what God is going to do for me." That's right! Until you know you must wait upon the Lord.

She has always had this habit of helping other ladies, or treating them, or going out of the way to support them. Now I'm the same. Here's an example... We were invited for lunch/dinner/barbeque [known as a braai in South Africa] at her home. She is single with two children, both teenagers. After having visited for a while I realised she didn't prepare food on her stove, nor used the oven. I enquired why she did not use this. She told me that nothing worked.

At our next visit I turned up there with multimeter, tools and whatever else. I did some tests, found the problems and restored her stove plates and oven to working condition. Now four months later and she says she still wants to kiss me and thank me for this blessing. And so it is with God. He too wants to do something for you. There is no end to what the Lord our God wants to do for you. We may go through seasons where we don't no what His plans for us are. It is during these times that we need to listen until He makes His plans clear to us.

When the time comes and He calls us or tells us what we are to do, we should listen and be obedient to His plans. He either speaks to us through His Spirit, through our minds or hearts, and then He guides us. He always wants to do something for us. It may seem impossible but all things are possible when He is in the centre of it all. Therefore wait upon the Lord and see what He wants to do for you. Amen...
