Growing Pains

The Lord is working in my wife and my hearts. We have been looking for an apartment to live in and there have been several places that have fit what we have wanted, but the Lord's will has not been with these places. It is difficult to pass over things when your heart is set on a place, but it is another reminder that our hearts should be focused on heavenly things and not caught up in the thicket of worldly things. I do not find it wrong to desire nice things, but when your heart gets tied up in them, that is when your focus has been diverted. Praise the Lord for growth in Christ, because if we do not grow such things as these would not be so easy to set aside. Praise the Lord for His Word, because it is the milk and meat that our souls long for. To quote H.A. Ironsides father "God will supply all our needs, someday He will supply my need of starving." It is the pains of grow that are a sign that we are growing, but I believe it is the flesh dying that causes the pain.
