One hot summer day while
cutting grass on my employer's lake property, the sky turned suddenly dark, the
wind started blowing very hard and it looked like a violent storm was
approaching. I prayed, God send this storm across the lake. Just then lightening
flashed and thunder rolled. I immediately turned the tractor toward my van and
trailer. I drove the tractor on to the trailer and started tying it down. Then I
looked up and the storm was on the other side of the lake. I took the tractor
back off of the trailer and finished cutting the thirty acres of grass.
On my way home, God started speaking to me and I heard
His voice loud and clear. Not with the ears on the side of my head, but the ears
of my heart. God said, " YOU HAVE NO FAITH!!"
Tears started rolling down my cheeks because I knew I
was hearing God's voice. He was saying you have no faith. You prayed that the
storm would move to the other side of the lake, and it did just that, but you
didn't have faith enough to believe that I would answer your prayer. YOU HAVE NO
FAITH !!!!
I repented and cried all of the way home. I promised
the Lord that when I pray, I will believe Mark 11:24.
"When you pray, believe, and it SHALL COME TO PASS"
