What the people want

Teaching Sunday School can sometimes be a great thing in clarifying issues in your own head.

My class is currently learning about the period from Judges through to the end of 2 Samuel.

Today we were looking at the whole idea of wanting a king.

I talked with them about various things, and it came out clearly within the discussion that sometimes God gives us things that aren't right for us, but they are what we want, and he uses those things to teach us lessons.

I have a feeling that this is so with my life recently.

I think I and others need to keep spending time thinking about how wonderful God is for me, and less time wondering where things are heading.
