 <\/p>\n

Me: I smell that potatoe cooking on the stove.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Yeah I am hungry and I want more but funds are low and I have to make just this.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Well, Praise God that you do have at least\u00a0one potatoe to cook.\u00a0 I can provide a story for you about sticking through these tough times if you want?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 I would love that!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Discerning the Right Decision by Gaspar Anastasi talks about famine and how to move through it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Most of us are moved by what we see rather than by the Word of the living God.\u00a0 Most of us go with our opinions or the opinions of others.\u00a0 Do you know that your opinion doesn’t count if you are going to walk in God’s destiny for your life?\u00a0 You’re going to have to trust His opinion over your own.\u00a0 His point of view is not clouded by feelings and emotions.\u00a0 His vision isn’t obscured by the dark circumstances.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How often we allow famine to move us from our divine appointments!\u00a0 Each one of us has an appointed place of blessing.\u00a0 Your marriage is an appointed place.\u00a0 If you’re single, your singleness is an appointed place.\u00a0 Your job is an appointed place.\u00a0 Your apartment building or neighborhood is an appointed place.\u00a0 The church you go to is an appointed place.\u00a0 These are places where God has put you for now, so don’t let the circumstnaces move you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know it is hard too trust God right now.\u00a0 I know, just look around you right now.\u00a0 This is not what you imagined.\u00a0 God has a plan.\u00a0 God knew this was coming also.\u00a0 God is asking you to tune out your voice and the voice of others and just trust His promises in His word.\u00a0 Sometimes we have to stay in the refiners fire longer then we want too, but the result when we come out will be beautiful!<\/p>\n

Don’t run right now.\u00a0 Wait for this to turn beautiful!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1 Peter 1:7<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
