Breadcrumbs

Okay, there's something else about bread if you don't mind me sharing this with you. It's about prayer too. And what the Lord meant when He said "keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking". Do you know what He DIDN'T mean? He didn't mean that we pound away on the door, begging, demanding, pleading for the same thing. Even if it's a promise He gives to us, like "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart". It's good to step into faith with Him and pray that scripture. He will keep His word. But then... He will lead you on a trail of breadcrumbs to get you to that place.His Word is the bread! Which is cool, because Jesus is the bread of life. The "ask, seek, knock" will come when you dive into Him, spend time with Him, open yourself up to Him and His Word. Get the Word into you, and He will connect so many dots, lead you on such a beautiful trail to come deeper into His presence in order that -viola, the desires of your heart!

Often, the Lord has something to teach us or grow in us or clean out of us in order to make us ready to receive the desires of our hearts. And He loves to give us our desires! He loves us, and when He can do something marvelous for a person, in a person - He gets glory! It shows others how much better His ways are than our ways...

So when you pray,keep on praying. Keep on seeking, keep on asking. But don't beat pound on the same door - because He already opened it for you. And it took you to another door, deeper inside His House. So knock on that one. And keep on doing it. Just spend time with Him, keep the Word inside of you so that He can apply it to what He's showing you. And keep going! The desires of our heart are at the end of this trail of breadcrumbs, and it's a great journey into Him.
