Me: I smell that potatoe cooking on the stove.

 

Prodigal:  Yeah I am hungry and I want more but funds are low and I have to make just this.

 

Me:  Well, Praise God that you do have at least one potatoe to cook.  I can provide a story for you about sticking through these tough times if you want?

 

Prodigal:  I would love that!

 

Discerning the Right Decision by Gaspar Anastasi talks about famine and how to move through it.

 

Most of us are moved by what we see rather than by the Word of the living God.  Most of us go with our opinions or the opinions of others.  Do you know that your opinion doesn’t count if you are going to walk in God’s destiny for your life?  You’re going to have to trust His opinion over your own.  His point of view is not clouded by feelings and emotions.  His vision isn’t obscured by the dark circumstances.

How often we allow famine to move us from our divine appointments!  Each one of us has an appointed place of blessing.  Your marriage is an appointed place.  If you’re single, your singleness is an appointed place.  Your job is an appointed place.  Your apartment building or neighborhood is an appointed place.  The church you go to is an appointed place.  These are places where God has put you for now, so don’t let the circumstnaces move you.

I know it is hard too trust God right now.  I know, just look around you right now.  This is not what you imagined.  God has a plan.  God knew this was coming also.  God is asking you to tune out your voice and the voice of others and just trust His promises in His word.  Sometimes we have to stay in the refiners fire longer then we want too, but the result when we come out will be beautiful!

Don’t run right now.  Wait for this to turn beautiful!

 

1 Peter 1:7

So that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
