<p class="subtitle"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>If You Settle for This, This Is All You Will Have</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Recently, I was studying and reflecting on some insights that God was showing me. During this time, an event from over twenty-five years ago suddenly came to my mind.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I remembered when I had just moved to Cleveland, Tennessee to work for Norvel Hayes Ministries. Since I had relocated from another city, I brought very little furniture with me—just my bed and a bookshelf to hold my books and Bibles. I found a lovely little house to rent from a wonderful couple, but it was quite empty.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I began to pray about furnishing my home. In my prayers, God prompted me to create a very specific list of what I wanted. I made my list and prayed over it daily.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After a couple of weeks, someone called to let me know they had furniture available for me to look at. I went to see it, and as I stood there, I thought, "Well, it's not what I wanted or what was on my list, but at least it would be something." In that moment, God spoke to me and said,&nbsp;<strong>"If you settle for this, this is all you will have—nothing more than what you settle for."</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I thanked them for their time and told them it wasn't what I was looking for. I drove back home to my empty house and waited for the provision I had prayed for. I waited and waited. For about two months, I waited in my empty house.</p>
