Have you ever been told “No” by God? It is a difficult moment in one’s journey of faith when it becomes obvious that something that felt important to them was not as important to God. In fact, sometimes God exercises His holy right to deny us what we desire. In David’s life, there came a moment when he had a noble idea to do something great for God. Though he received support from his spiritual adviser, God ended up telling David NO. From this moment we are able to address our own response when things in life do not turn out the way we had hoped. Do we become bitter? If so, do we realize that by doing so, we disqualify ourselves from God’s alternative to what we desired? We must learn the difference between being redirected and being rejected. God will never reject us as His children. But He certainly redirects us from our plans to His better plans.
