Just Ask

Today as I wandered through the supermarket….I decided I wanted a particular type of sandwich..I walked over to the area that they are usually kept…and there were no sandwiches displayed and the lights to that particular section of the store were off…I was disappointed and began to walk away…I saw a deli worker but was hesitant to ask…finally…I approached her and inquired about the sandwich…she stopped what she was doing and asked me exactly what I wanted and began to make the sandwich right there…it took a few minutes so I continued my shopping and returned to find my sandwich completed and the worker smiling and thanking me for waiting…why am I telling you all of this? Because…sometimes this is the way we approach God…we will make an assessment…just like I did at that area of the store that seemed inaccessible to me…it did not appear that what I had come for…I would receive..so in my disappointment…I began to walk away…but…I really wanted that sandwich…and I decided to go back and ASK…isn’t that what our Father instructs us to do? He tells us to ask…but so often we decide that if we can’t see it…then it probably will not happen…today God reminded me that…often…we will miss something that is for us…simply because we do not ask…I’m not sure what you have walked away from…because you have made an incorrect assessment…I encourage you…to go back…and ASK…you just may be surprised when you receive the thing you almost walked away from😊
