Ahhh, the temptation to want to be somewhere else or someone else. God, give us grace to overcome the temptations to envy and covet. It is way to easy to look at the other side of the fence and think that life would be better if such and such were different. The truth: no. Thankfully, the change can happen and will happen because God is faithful and able. It may not look like what you had in mind, but it will be green and beautiful.
If it is peace we want, then we must knock. If it is provision we want, then we must ask. If it is unknown, then we must seek.
God is near. God is good.
"Where there is no vision, the people perish"
Proverbs 29:18
“Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives;
the one who seeks finds;
and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"
Matthew 7:7-11
