If God gave us what we asked for all at once, it would wipe us out. Too much reality. We have to chew on one piece of manna at a time. God’s announcements to the heart are so prestigious that too much and we are floored. And there are lots more that feel nutty and restrictive in their eccentricity. Then a year later or more and that, in turn, blossoms into bare, unadorned wisdom. So be wary of begging God to make too many pronouncements, to act for you too early. One simply doesn’t know the power of unadorned facts until they descend upon us like a heavenly storm.
