I Asked For Spice And Got A Sermon
Send us a text
Ever prayed for something, took a quick look, decided nothing happened, and then forced a result you couldn’t enjoy? That’s the heartbeat of today’s conversation, where a craving for spicy seafood becomes a living parable about trust, timing, and obedience. We anchor in Romans 8:28, not as a slogan, but as a lens for everyday choices—especially the quiet ones that test patience and reveal whether we truly believe God’s goodness.
We start with a simple kitchen scene: no fresh Scotch bonnet, only dry seeds. A prayer asks God to bring back the heat. A hasty taste says “no change,” and more seeds get tossed in. The outcome is scorching, and the insight lands hard: when we rush God’s process, we often create blessings we can’t enjoy. From there, we connect the dots to Sarah and Abraham’s shortcut, the difference between initiative and impatience, and the biblical promise that true blessing “adds no sorrow.”
Along the way, we share a real story of provision that required giving what felt impossible to give, only to watch God supply in full. We talk about how obedience and waiting work together, why God’s names—Jehovah Jireh, Rapha, Shalom, El Shaddai—steady us in uncertainty, and how to pray with honesty while yielding the method and timing to Him. If you’re facing financial pressure, delayed answers, or a decision that tempts you to “add more pepper,” this is your gentle guardrail and your invitation to peace.
Listen for practical encouragement to wait well, trust deeply, and receive without regret. If this conversation strengthens your faith, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more women can find it. Subscribe for more purpose-centered stories that remind us: God’s timing is not late, it’s perfect.
