Living in a fallen world can bring disappointment and disillusionment to some. Don't be swayed by your circumstances. Things aren't always as they seem! Sometimes when you think the answer to your prayer is "no," it is just "not yet."
Abraham waited nine years for God to fulfill His promise of giving him a son. Each passing day brought an opportunity for doubt. But Abraham looked past the facts. He was not swayed by the circumstances. Hebrews 6:15 says, "And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised."
We tend to think our faith should operate like a microwave. We pop a little bag into the microwave and two minutes later we have hot, delicious popcorn. Unfortunately, faith doesn't always work the same way.
In our life journey, maps and road signs are helpful, but what’s better is someone who has been there before and knows the way.
No matter what kind of guidance we need, God has gone before us and knows the best route.
I think sometimes we ask too little of God. We want a simple “yes” or “no” to our prayer. Maybe we think all we need is a short answer to our prayer and we’ll be able to take if from there. But what’s better than that is having the Guide himself. Don't make the answer to your prayers more important than the one you are praying to!
He’ll never lead us down the wrong path! He may take us on a few detours, but His route is the best route....because it gets us to where we need to be.
Trust the Guide that is ALWAYS by your side.
Blessings,
