Bravo network has some interesting shows don't you think?

Not one of the channels I normally would surf, but an interesting tidbit of info came my way yesterday. Seems the "Housewives of Orange County" is going to have a "Christian" on the show. The show will follow her to Free Chapel OC. This is interesting because Free Chapel is here but has an OC location as well. Another episode will feature having the Pastor, Jenzen Franklin over for dinner. This could be fun!

This morning as I turned on TV (not Bravo), a very polished Televangelist caught my eye, rather my ear, with a very pertinent message. I have to admit, all I caught was a tidbit there as well. He told a story how a proper church lady questioned him about God and money. "If God wanted me to have any extra money, He'd give it to me." The woman said. He responded with "And if God wanted you to comb your hair He's do it."

I had already passed on to another channel to see election results when it sunk in. Their could be some truth to the retort. Both require an action on our part. I quickly went back to the channel just in time to here him say "When was the last time you actually spelled it out to God and asked him, really just asked Him for extra?"

Extra would come in handy right now on so many levels.

I sometimes just assume He knows my thoughts and wishes (He does) But like James 4 says You have not because you don't ask, or you ask with wrong motives.

As a salesperson, I can go visit clients and be pleasant, but unless I ask for the sale blatantly, I may not get it.

My dad just about wanted a business plan presentation when I would ask him for something. If Powerpoint were around back then, it would have been required. I had to provide all the positives and negatives of why I should need this purchase (even if he knew it was a need) I'd make my presentation and he would grant... or not, based on my motives, the usage, effects on others etc.

In the same way, God our Father, really does want us to ask Him and be ready in our hearts with an expectancy of an answer that He knows best and sees around the corners and behind the walls of each request.

So Father God, I ask for favor and blessings today so I can bless others and be used mightily by you today. The results of the request have now been effectively transferred to The Decision Maker.
