Left the house a little late for church this morning. Then the bus was a bit late arriving. Then the bus spent five minutes sitting around, apparently because a wheelchair user wanted to board and the driver didn't seem to know how to operate the ramp to get her on. When I eventually got there, church was really good. But...
This morning's talk was about how we deal with unanswered prayer. Which was great, but unfortunately by the end of the service I was rather confused by two issues which I've been wrestling with for a while, because I started to feel like God was now giving me different answers to the ones I've been getting up until now. Have I been getting it wrong? Has God changed His mind? Are the new answers even right?
I don't know. But what seems interesting (for want of a better word) is that, in both of these situations, the answers I was being pointed towards this morning are ones that I have considered in the past, but then decided are so difficult and so unlikely that they can't possibly be right. Well, actually, I'm not sure that saying they're "too difficult" is the right way of putting it, but I think I've dismissed the ideas before because I couldn't see how they could possibly work and have resigned myself to the idea that I should just opt for Plan B instead, because Plan A is far too ambitious.
Perhaps I need to remember that all things are possible through God. Because most of the time, all I remember is that many things are not possible through Steve.
