I am often amazed when people come to me who are upset when God starts to work in their lives. I have found that statements such as, "I lost my job" and "My kid is in trouble again" are often precipitated by prayer asking God to get involved in very specific areas of our lives.
When we invite God into these areas it should not surprise us that He starts to work. The problem is we usually have a desire to see God work in specific ways that makes us comfortable and happy. Isaiah 55: 8 says, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD." God is not as concerned about our comfort as He is our heart. He is more concerned about our holiness over our temporary happiness.
If you have been praying about an area of your life and things start happening- hang on! The Lion of Judah who knows you by name and listens to your prayers is roaring. He is an unstoppable force who will accomplish His purposes in the best way possible.
If you have been praying for a new job and you lose your old one- listen to the roar of prayers being answered
If you have been praying for your child and God reveals character flaws and initiates discipline - Listen as you hear God roar His love for your child
If you have asked for a deeper relationship with God and hardship and suffering come your way - Listen as Christ roars an answer to your longing to know Him more intimately.
Let him who has ears hear and rejoice!
