Joel 2:23-27 "Living With Our Eyes Wide Open"


            No matter how hopeless a situation may seem to be while it is happening, God never leaves us. We cry out in our darkest hour, just to find that God has already been preparing a way to bring us out of our pit of despair to see the glorious light of day once again. But, in our newfound prosperity, do we remember to thank him? After the years of drought, do we thank him for the rain? It is so easy for us to forget that we can do nothing without God. He is in control, but sometimes our eyes just are not open wide enough to see that.

            A woman was driving her car, circling around the parking lot looking for a spot, late for an important meeting. She prayed, “Lord, please help me find a spot.” The words were barely out of her mouth before she saw a car pull out of a spot in front of her. “Never mind,” She said, “I found one.”
