I imagine that as a Mum, if I sent my daughter to the supermarket, I would arm her with a shopping list, phone, cash or credit cards for payment, directions to the store and whatever information I believe would aid her in fulfilling the task. If she gets stranded on the way back from the store or gets into any form of trouble, once she makes a plea call to me, I will be quick to move and make speedy efforts to resolve whatever challenges she may be facing.
However, if I get a sudden call for plea from my daughter who should probably be in school or at home telling me that she is stranded and needs help. First I would be confused, querying why are you there? Why didn’t you tell me you were going there? Where exactly are you? What exactly happened? Then I would probably start trying to figure out how to resolve her challenges. It would be way more difficult than the first scenario because it was unexpected.
Thinking about this scripture makes me wonder and then finally realize that God has systems of support set in place for those He sends on assignments. This is because He appointed them. Just like kids need to keep their parents informed of their movements and choices so that the parents wil be ready to assist if needed. In this same way,we also need to bring our Father in heaven upto speed with our plans and visions. Most importantly, let’s make sure that He approves them. Let’s make sure He approves that marriage, that business and whatever else we are doing so that He keeps a support system for us at the ready in times of need.
