Do you?

I see all the time where people relate certain things to prayer, God, and his blessings. 

A first date gone well, a new house, an A on a Calculus test, or a promotion at work.

I tend to thumb my nose at this stuff. Do you? I think: is God really interested in getting that upper-middle class family “the perfect home” so they can live peaceful lives in suburbia? Is God concerned over whether or not that sophomore at that private university gets an A or a B on her Calculus final? Are the things impressed upon the heart of God excitement when 30 year old Robert is on the fast-track and gets that promotion that earns him 6 figures?

Is this what God spends his time on?

But what if that “first date gone well” is for a struggling single mother who’s been lied to, cheated on, abused, and desperately desires a companion both for herself and to help raise her child?

And what if that new house is the first thing of value and substance the family with a poverty stricken history has ever owned?

What if that student with the A on the Calculus exam has poured her life into getting out of “the hood” and overcome numerous unthinkable circumstances to be in college anyways, much less succeeding at a difficult subject?

And what if that promotion was for a man living below the poverty line that can finally provide for his family?

Maybe this is what happens when we don’t consider all the angles…
