S - Judges 13:8 Then Manoah prayed to the Lord, saying, “Lord, please let the man of God come back to us again and give us more instructions about this son who is to be born.” 9 God answered Manoah’s prayer, and the angel of God appeared once again to his wife as she was sitting in the field. But her husband, Manoah, was not with her.
O - Sampson's father, Manoah, was not present the first time the angel of the Lord appeared to his wife and told her she would become pregnant. So he prayed that this "man" return to them so he too could see him and learn more of what they were to do. And the angel of the Lord did come back and appear to them.
A - Just like Manoah, I too have the ability to ask the Lord to clarrify His plans for my life. This verse says nothing about how quickly He returned but it does say that He didn't return for a third time. This means to me that I need to be patient in waiting on the Lord. He may speak quickly or He may speak with some delay. I can wait patiently on the Lord and know that He will bring light to my path in His time which is always the perfect timing.
P - God, I pray that you could to me quickly and help me understand what you have for our lives and this adoption. I pray that you give both Christa and I strength as we wait and understanding that this too will pass. Bless my family and me today and help us to do what you have set out for us to do.
