One thing that I have learnt for sure over the years is that God is not a magician. Or in other words, he will not perform magic tricks to entertain us. If we look to Him just to get certain things done, He will not oblige us the way we would like Him to. He has certain things in His mind regarding us and all His gifts are not just to make us feel happy. His gifts which are a sign of His great love for us, has other purposes too. When He fed the five thousand, he wanted to reveal Jesus as the Bread of Life. When Jesus calmed the storm. He rebuked His disciples for not learning about faith in God. We desperately need to learn the principles in which God is pleased to operate. If we seek healing, we need to learn how to maintain faith and how to prepare our body and mind for the healing. If we seek physical blessing, we need to make sure it is for the glory of God. O how we need to learn His ways. He seeks more from us than what we think we have. Only He can bring it forth from us.
