Do we need to pray and seek God in all that we do, including going on a vacation? No, not really. But it is prudent to do so. It could be a part of our daily communication with Him where if we could, we would like to share as much as possible with Him. Yes, God is omniscient, all- knowing. But praying and talking to Him enhances our interactions with Him, drawing us closer to Him. So if there is impending danger, He could forewarn us like He did with Noah or like He sent the two angels to rescue Lot and his family from the then coming destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The other thing about God’s timing is that He makes all things beautiful in His time (Ecclesiastes 3:11). We may be struggling in life right now, but in time to come, we will be comfortable. We may be going through much persecution now, but the day will come when we experience true liberation from the oppression. Or we may be suffering from an illness and have been praying for healing. Or we may be stagnant in our faith and have been asking God for a breakthrough. Or we may have been praying for the finances to travel for missions or just to go for a mission trip to preach the Gospel or to strengthen the body of Christ elsewhere. Or we may have been praying for the opportunity to start or plant a new church or work. Or we have been seeking God for a life partner to settle down and start a family or just have some progression in our career.
God will come through in His time as He will work all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
Trust in the Lord. Commit our ways to Him, and He will make our paths straight. In all that we do, acknowledge Him. See Proverbs 3:6.
He knows what is best for us, for He loves and careth for us. Jesus is our Lord and Saviour and Father God is our Heavenly Father, and He has sent us the Holy Spirit to live in our hearts and to guide and strengthen our faith.
Have a good weekend ahead, everyone!
