Morning Light - April 17th, 2015: Be Careful What You Ask God For (Audio)

Today: [Judges Chapter Twenty]: Be Careful What You Ask God For. In this chapter the tribes of Israel ask God for permission to go to war. He gives them leave to do so yet they are defeated just the same. Jesus said “ask what ye will…” Because most Christians presume God is reluctant to answer they pepper him with constant requests in the hopes that one will stick and they will get something they might want or think they need. The truth of the matter is that God is a covenant keeping God. He will give you EXACTLY what you ask for because He MADE A COVENANT to do so. In the end things may not work out as planned. We will see in this chapter that we should approach God will yieldedness and humility to find the plan that is pleasing to Him for our next step in the midst of a crisis.
