God knows best!

I have just finished turning my house upside down looking for a lost phone! Well actually I cleared away stuff that had been hidden behind chairs for too long. I then pulled out cushions from sofas moved furniture but still no phone!! After a good half hour in complete desperation I whispered " God please show me where I left my phone" I didn't hear a voice but the thought popped into my mind go look in the box with your lovely present of a hand bag in it, I found the box,opened the lid, no phone! I then opened the new bag and there was my phone! Late last night I had thought, I wonder if my phone fits in my beautiful fancy bag and it obviously did so I left it there!!!! It got me thinking why do I always ask God for wisdom over a situation last and why is He not my first port of call? Another example of this was this week I was totally uninspired when I sat down to prepare for five weeks of our kids club, all I needed was a theme for each week and a memory verse ,I had nothing! I looked at Facebook, checked emails I get easily distracted!! Once again I sent up an arrow prayer "God what shall I do?" Instantly I opened my bible and ideas flowed!!! James ch 1 v 5 says If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. Now believe me I don't always get such quick answers but it has reminded me that when I am lacking on inspiration or need wisdom or guidance why don't I just go to the source of knowledge and creativity insteady of trying to do it alone!! Have you ever heard from your parents those dreaded words "Mum knows best!! Well this mum doesn't!!! I was asked by my oldest an opinion and when I answered 'why ask me?' He said " "because you know best" I reminded him actually I don't because I am human!! Please God help me to realise you always know best And help me to come to you first not last!!
