" ENDURING WITHOUT COMPLAINT "

Are you still asking inquiring questions about God and his character? Why haven't you resolved that he's an on time God yet?

Have you not said to yourself why does God not answer? God may have seemed slow the last time you cried out for his help. But God is not sluggish in any shape or form when it comes to his children. It's time that you put this one to bed for ever, and know that you know that He's always right on time.

Our God in Heaven is not on our time-table (Psalms 90:4), But again I say to you that he's always on time. We are reminded by Moses that a thousand years are like a day to the Lord. God is certainly not limited by time, as we see it.

It's easy to get discouraged when years pass and seemingly the world doesn't get any better. Please a moment of " TRUTH " Have you ever in a low moment wondered if God is able to see the future? But don't presume for an instant that God has our limitations. Our God is completely unrestricted by time, because he is eternal, and we CAN depend on him. " The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance". WHEN YOU PRAY "EXPECT ".

I'm reminded of Isaiah 40:31 " Yet those who wait on the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary". Please know that God is never too tired or too busy to help and listen. His strength is our source of strength. Trusting helps us to be prepared when he speaks to us. Then we will learn to become enduring without complaint when he asks us to wait and expect him to fulfill the promises found in His Word. When you hear that voice suggesting that the Lord is slow when it comes to hearing us and answering our prayer, you know better.

Until next time.

Jim
