Subject: Knowing vs believing |
Bible Note: Thank you for your responses. Here is a story about what I asked God to give me. (Not trying to boast, just trying to bring my point across) This last weekend I went to my girlfriends grandparents cabin. Her grandma, me and my girlfriend all went four wheeling on two four wheelers. Kristen and I in one, and her grandpa in the other. Along the way, I prayed to God and asked him if he could just let me see a bear or a deer or something along the trails. Well, I knew that he might not give me exactly what i wanted but I still hoped and had confidence that he could. So our trial expedition was over and still no sign of dear, keep in mind the hope was still there. On our way home, between a 45mins drive. Along that 45min drive, we came across atleast 15 deer, mostly in pairs. First 5 were at her grandparents house by their cabin. The rest were along the road way. Now that was a pray answered I believe. I got more then I asked for. SO that was just somethign I wanted to share with you. if you would like to respond anyone go ahead please. Thanks. |
