A young African convert prayed one evening like this: “O Lord, You are the needle and I am the thread!”
That day he had visited a school and watched some girls who were sewing. He noticed that the thread always followed the needle, and he saw in that simple task a profound spiritual truth. If he stayed close to the Lord, praying, reading His word, and depending entirely on Him, he would always be led by God’s Spirit.
Total reliance on God will keep us from becoming frustrated by interruptions or from wondering what He wants us to do next.
