Something is up, but what?


The landlord of the building we rent for our church refused to take our July rent check and returned the one from June as well. I was concerned and asked why, but he said he was having trouble with his taxes and could not take anymore rent from us for for a bit, but not to worry. He said he might be making a decision about the building soon, but that it could be very much in our favor.

What could it be? Please pray! Different scenarios, from giving us the building for free to our church having to move soon, have crossed my mind. Even if it was free, would we find some hidden tax debt attached? I don't want to say "NO" and miss a blessing, but we don't want to say "Yes" and get a Trojan horse either.

I know about this verse:

James 1:5-6 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

I confess, I feel a bit like that wave. We need that wisdom that James 1:5-6 and following speaks of. Please help us pray for it.
