God always answers us.  

Are you sure, you ask?  

I’m positive.  

Sometimes, however, the answer is “no”, or “not yet “or “wait, I have something better coming” or even “are you sure you really want that?”

The Lord has a plan for our lives; a wonderful plan. 

He sees the beginning from the end and all the steps in between.  

He knows what will make us stronger, what will build our character, what will mold us and make us into the wonderful men and woman of God that He has called us to be. 

Our part is to seek His will, to allow Him to guide and direct our steps, and to trust when he says “no” or “not yet” or “wait, I have something better coming”, or even “are you sure you really want that?”

A handful is sufficient.  

When we spend our time grasping with the intention of filling both hands, we often miss out on the benefits that come when our hands are wide open and ready to receive those things the Father has for us. 

We also miss out on the blessing we can be to others when our hands are wide open and positioned toward them in a giving manner.  

We are in a season of unclenched hands; hands wide open to give and to receive and lifted high with praise!
