FAITH CAPSULE: Waiting on God to experience the manifestation of prayer can take longer or shorter than expected.
Psalm 40
Jesus was sharing the Parable of the Persistent Widow when he stated, “…when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:18)
The parable of Jesus points out that waiting demands unfailing faith when the manifestation of prayer seems delayed or impossible.
It is a must to have faith in waiting on God.
Have faith to believe and to obey God in any area of seeking God.
Wait on God without doubt in every area of life.
Are you a faithful or faith-empty one?
To always obey and wait is encased in the life of Abraham.
Hebrews 11: 8-10 records, “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.”
The verses above point Abraham out as a faithful one:
By faith, Abraham obeyed; by faith, he dwelt in the land of promise.
He demonstrated his faith (belief) by waiting.
Are you waiting on God in any area of life?
To be waiting on God is timeless.
Waiting on God to experience a manifestation of prayer can take longer or shorter than expected.
The waiting that takes Mr. A a short time before getting an answer can take Mr. B longer to get his answer from God.
One waiting before God is not possible not to hear from God.
One thing God cannot do is He cannot fail.
God cannot fail because time is in His hand, and He can answer at the early or late hour.
Although man controls his clock, God is God, and no one can control the timing of God.
David testifies in Psalm 40:1, “I waited patiently for the Lord, And He inclined to me, and heard my cry.”
King David, in his waiting, it is evident that he kept on praying when he stated, “But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, in the acceptable time; O God, in the multitude of Your mercy, hear me in the truth of Your salvation. Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink…” (Psalm 69:13-14)
Prayer and expectation are the anchors of waiting, and David demonstrated it.
Wait patiently, and He will answer you.
Isaiah 64 should seal the faith of waiting on God to experience a manifestation of prayer.
Isaiah 64:4 records, “For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, Nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.”
Wait on God without doubt.
Prayer for today: Ask God to help you so your faith will not fail.
