It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. What a Mighty God we serve. Have you ever asked God to do something for you, but was uncertain if and when He would do it? You went to Him with a sincere and humble heart. You presented your request to Him with confidence but the enemy begin to attack you with fear and doubt. How did you feel when the Lord answered your prayer? Were you overtaken with joy or did you feel He owed it to you? Have you ever prayed for something and it seemed as though God would never respond? You approached the throne of God with boldness, gave your request, and walked away giving Him thanks. As time has gone on it appears as if God has forgotten about you. For some reason you believe the Lord has forgotten or not heard you completely. Have you ever experienced a time when it felt as if God was silent?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. When you pray, do you request things that will ultimately give God glory? Do you pray for selfish things or opportunities to bless the body of Christ? Are your prayers self-centered or God-centered? I come not to question your prayer life but your motives. Remember, whatever you ask for God knows what lies in your heart. While man can only see the outward appearance, God can see within (1 Samuel 16:7). My friend, It Is In God’s Timing! The answer to your prayer request is in God’s timing. The Lord knows if and when you are ready to receive the manifestation. The Bible declares in Ecclesiastes 3:1 – To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: There is an exact time for every blessing in our lives. Along with the exact time, there is an exact purpose associated with the blessing. It Is In God’s Timing! Believe not the enemy. He’s a liar!
My brother, my sister, what have you asked from the Lord? Are you in a holding pattern? Are you questioning the Lord? Has the enemy thrown negative and doubtful thoughts at you? It Is In God’s Timing! The Bible declares in Genesis 18:14 – Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, … Beloved, the Lord knows when, where, and how to bless you. He knows what you can handle, when you can handle it. Just because the answer has not come [yet] does not mean the Lord has forgotten about you. Do you not know the Lord still deserves the praise? It Is In God’s Timing! God’s time and man’s time are different (Isaiah 55:8). Man expects things to happen their way, right away. Not with the Lord. He responds in His time and His way. The Bible declares in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Prayer for Today: Father, thank you for knowing what’s best for me. My request has been heart by you. It is in your timing and I trust in you. In Jesus’ name … Amen!
