God Builds upon our Sincere Efforts

Whenever we expect to do something we are uncertain about its consequences. we never know whether it is according to Gods wish. We always think that let God decide for me and sit idle. Is it right to do so?

Let us meditate on a gospel;

Mark 7: 32-35

And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him.And taking him aside from the multitude privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue;and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Eph'phatha," that is, "Be opened."And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.

In this incident we sense that Jesus is doing His duty, the necessary requirements for the healing, and then submitting Himself and the man, He looks upon Heavenly Father for His wish to be done who inturn works upon the man healing him perfectly.

When we go deep into the Gospel , we can see this in every incident. Hence let us always realize that God can never work in our idleness but on our sincere efforts and submissions. As children of God the Father, we have duties assigned by our Almighty Father, we have to pray for it, search for it, procure it and work on it sincerely , with perfect submission to God. Once we have done our part in dedication, God will work on it and give us what He feels is the right for His children.Pray to god to open our ways "Eph'phatha" ,to open our ears, eyes and tongues to seek His wisdom. In His wisdom we will never go astray or helpless.

Prayer

O Living Father in Heaven, help us to reveal our duties in this world and guide us to the right path. Mold us to follow Jesus. Teach us to submit everything to you and work on it with your help. Finally make us patient to receive from you what is right for us and thank you for all you have done for us. Amen.
