DON’T STOP PRAYING – BE PATIENT

“Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you;
therefore he will rise up to show you compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice.
Blessed are all who wait for him!.”
Isaiah 30:18

Many times the Lord will deliberately delay so that He may be gracious to us.
When Lazarus fell sick, his family sent for Jesus.
Instead of coming immediately Jesus waited (see John 11:1-46).
He waited until Lazarus was dead.
And if you read John 11:15, you’ll see that He said, “I’m glad,”
because He had something greater in mind.
God waited four thousand years
to send the Lord Jesus Christ after He made that promise.
But Galatians 4:4 says He came in the fullness of time.
“But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son,
born of a woman, born under the law”
Never late, never ahead of time, never in a hurry.

Are you in a waiting game…praying days, weeks, months,
even years, for something and God hasn’t answered?
Be still and know that in the fullness of time,
your request will be answered.
