Gen 44-46; Luke 18
Scripture: I want to tell you that even though God sometimes seems to wait before He answers, He is eager to answer as quickly as possible. He will see that justice is done. But the real question is this: When God comes to set up His earthly kingdom, how many people will He find who still have faith in Him?” Luke 18: 8
Observation: God does answer all prayers, but in His own time. Sometimes the prayers are delayed for reasons that God only knows. Usually it’s for our own good. Unfortunately, we are a people of the here and now kind of prayers. We want them answered immediately. This is where faith comes in…..we need to wait for the answers. So when God comes back to set up His earthly kingdom who will have the faith to be there with Him. Do you lose your faith because prayers were not answered immediately or not in the way you wanting them to be answered? God forbid! You wait!
Application: I know personally in my life I’ve definitely had to wait for my prayers to be answered, but I’m glad I did wait because things weren’t right for me when I thought I needed those prayers answered right then and there. God knew when I needed them answered and how it would be taken care of wasn’t always the way I thought it would be taken care of. God had a better plan! Bottom line is don’t lose your faith in God just because your prayers haven’t been answered yet.
Prayer: Dear Lord may I have faith in you to take care of all my needs in this life and not to lose my faith in you when things go wrong and prayers are not answered immediately. Amen
