The little joys.

Do you like to be surprised? I always love to get surprises, especially from God. It was a national holiday. I was in the mood to have chicken for lunch, and milk was not at home. I was repeatedly asking my husband for those two—milk and chicken. I even asked him to hurry and get them so that I could prepare hot coffee for him, but I failed in my attempts. We never had any special plans for that day. We received a call from our pastor asking us to attend the prayer meeting that day. I was too lazy to move out of the house, but I obeyed, and we both went. In the middle of the prayer, they offered coffee, and at the end, they served chicken biryani. I was thinking, wasn’t I asking for the same things since morning? While on the other side, God was preparing a feast to fulfill my little desires. I was thinking, how hesitant I was to obey the call, but when I did, God thoroughly surprised me. He fed my soul and my body. How true is the verse that God fulfills our heart’s desires! Psalm 37:4 reads, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

Hey friend, this may sound like a small incident, but I would never call it a coincidence. I know God planned this long ago and surprised me. When He answers these little prayers and desires of our hearts, how faithful is He in fulfilling our long-time prayers! Our waiting for answers to our prayers will end only with His answers. Let's just stay faithful and receive our answers from Him, dear friends. Hebrews 6:15 says, "And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise." Yahweh, Yeshua, our Savior, will never ever fail us. Just don't lose hope.

Dear God,

Thank you for your love. Thank you for all the surprises you have planned for us along the way. Strengthen us to wait patiently for you until we receive what you have planned for us.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
