Looks can be deceiving

I remember being a little girl and seeing this piece of chocolate candy that I wanted so badly.  My grandmother, whom I affectionately and lovingly call Momma, instructed me that the particular piece of candy that I wanted was not for children and it was for grown- ups.  But, it was a yummy looking little square block of chocolate that I wanted so badly that when she wasn’t looking a sneaked a piece and boy did I pay for it.  It turns out that piece of candy really wasn’t candy at all, but Ex-lax.  Yeah, I know you guys remember that chocolate laxative.  (Laughing out loud).  Needless to say, I learned my lesson and from that point on if Momma said it wasn’t for me, then I didn’t touch it!  Now let’s use that story to compare our Christian life.  We see something that we want and it looks really good to our natural eye, but God tells us no because He sees the consequences of that thing in the future.  He is looking out for what is best for us; yet we often feel like He is keeping something from us, only to go after that thing and suffer horrible consequences.   We see what we want in the natural and BELIEVE it is good.  He sees what we want in the supernatural and KNOWS that it is not good.  Let us try harder to put our complete trust in God no matter what the circumstances because He will withhold no GOOD thing from us.  Remember, everything that looks good is not always good for you.

Love and Blessings ~ Lady Monica

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
