Chicken soup...

Being a country girl there are some things I understand. I know when your starvin fresh is best. I know things like milk comes from a cow, you squeeze the teet and whala you have milk. Its a little different to getting eggs. If you take a chook (chicken without an accent), and squeeze it you will not get an egg. If you go every 5 minutes, most chooks will not go to nest to lay. If you stress them it can be days. If you cut open a chook, you will not find an egg. I know which side of the chicken has the most feathers, that would be the outside. If you worry that hen and turn it round about and upside down often enough you may turn it inside out, which would for one be not productive and two not pretty. In the off season you have no idea how long you will have to wait. They are not fickle, just doing what needs done. Just let it be, sit back, relax and know that the egg will come in its time. A chook that lays gives the ability to make so much. One that wont lay is only good to make chicken soup.

So many times our understanding gets a little fuzzy when we are waiting on the promises of God to be made manifest. When we are starving for the move, manifestation, fulfilling that comes from the presence of God. Too often we find ourselves praying with faith believing, only to go back and pray the same request again and again and again. We analyse situations, needs, God, His word, His ways, His promises, His delays. Questioning time and again, getting into doubt and uncertainties, letting worry cause us to continue to worry and disect our faith and our sanity. Too often sabotage Gods productivity in our own lives, and we cause the delays in the delivery of Gods promises to us. Its time to recognise anew the seasonality even in our relationship and things of God, to remember to be still, and know that HE truly is GOD. God is not fickly, nor forgetful, just doing what needs done. I would rather we have blessings and experiences bountiful in so many ways and places on the journey and process of receiving His promise than sacrifice in our impatience.

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
