You ain’t got it cause you ain’t ask for it!
YOU Ain’t GOT it … Because You Ain’t ask for it…
You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it.
Sometimes you’ve got to laugh at yourself, because I have no doubt in my mind God is cracking up.
So this blog begins like this, day one I’m sad but not broken. I’ve had to seek out other means to get me through the day. Ugg I’m connected to the system by a wire, because I can’t find my wireless headphones. Now I’ve got to use actual earplugs. Who even does that anymore?
Nobody unless they are the super expensive fancy ones. If you know me you know that these were dollar store earplugs connected to my cell phone. And yes you had to giggle the right wire to hear it. Oh well I must have left them at work.
Day two … say it ain’t so … Monday in the office and my wireless headset is not anywhere to be found. How will I survive a Monday without my gospel, country, reggae mix. I will actually have to communicate with my coworkers and I actually won’t be able to lose myself in the music (like Eminem says oh yeah add gangster rap to my genre list)
In my arrogance I must not have looked everywhere in the house. So with my flashlight I searched. Under the couch, behind the counter, in the fridge (you never know right), night stand and behind it. Under the bed behind the bed…laundry basket.
In my search a small wise voice in my head calmly said, why don’t you just ask me. I chuckled to myself convinced that I had just overlooked it, so ten more minutes of searching. I finally broke down to the voice and said…OK God where should I look. Then I thought even better Lord can you just put it somewhere that I can see it.
I put the flashlight away and got distracted from my search. An hour later time for bed and to write myself a note to look on Groupon for any specials on wireless head phones. I pulled open my nightstand to look for what I don’t even remember now, because to my delight there sat my wireless headset.
I promise you I had looked there before, but for some reason it was clear to me now!
Then this came to me…you have not cause you don’t ask, instead you work hard on your own in the wrong direction. You who know me child. You who know the love I have for you. You whose hair I have counted, well Umm YES I AM GOD AND I AM HERE FOR YOU.
JUST ASK ME
My prayer is that you know it’s ok to ask Father for it and guess what I know he will hear you.

[ Get Serious ] Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels come from? Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way, and fight for it deep inside yourselves.You lust for what you don’t have and are willing to kill to get it. You want what isn’t yours and will risk violence to get your hands on it. You wouldn’t think of just asking God for it, would you? And why not? Because you know you’d be asking for what you have no right to. You’re spoiled children, each wanting your own way.
