“HE IS ALL WE NEED!”
Psalm 37:39
“But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble.”
Many of us who have traveled with children in the car remember the constant refrain from the back seat, "Are we there yet?" Hearing this over and over again can quickly become a source of irritation.
In the same way, we tend to expect God to act upon our requests in a more timely manner -- but we need to remember that it is in His time (not ours) that His perfect will is accomplished. Think of Joseph or Job as excellent examples of what it means to wait upon the Lord.
Does God hear our prayers? If so, why does it take so long for us to see the results? Certainly the element of timing may be involved, but at the same time we need to understand that there are spiritual forces which we cannot see that are at work. Read Daniel chapter 10 for a good example of this type of warfare in the spirit realm.
Just because we do not receive answers when we want to receive them does not mean that God does not hear us, or that He is unconcerned about us. Remember that He is in absolute control and in His time the answer will come. Our part is to remain faithful and keep our eyes on Him, not on our request. "HE IS ALL WE NEED!"
Blessings dear hearts. May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
