Chapter 48
Good Tuesday Afternoon to this week 48 of 2023
Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV): “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
An interesting discussion unfolded yesterday. A friend decided to plant his manioc for the second time on his plantation this year, despite the approaching dry season. Despite knowing the dry season was imminent, he had observed consistent rainfall and deemed it worthwhile. He planted his fields again and prayed for four more days of rain before the dry season set in. Remarkably, this weekend brought two consecutive rainy days.
Despite many predictions of the upcoming Harmattan season, characterized by colder temperatures and winds from the North, his prayers seemed to hold power – the rain arrived as he had wished. Now, as the heat returns in full force, it marks the optimal time to plant and witness growth. During our discussion, we dug deep into the question of where the prayers of others go when they’ve been seeking an end to the rain, hindering business and flooding roads.
His response; – “God is a judge; He will hear all prayers and judge wisely in the best interest of all!” Amen!
Wishing you all a fantastic week!
