His
Answers are Wiser than Our Prayers
Here it is just a few days into winter and already I
have heard them say on the news, “Will spring be late this year?”
The sun is hidden by clouds, and the song birds have
flown away, the flower bulbs are sleeping safely under fallen leaves and
sometimes snow. But all of nature knows
God is never late or never too early for the seasons to flow. Why are we led to worry when we know God has
all this in His hands?
“Do not be
anxious about anything, instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need,
and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which
exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds
as you live in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 NLT
O beloved, let us not say the sun may never shine
again, the flowers forget to bloom or the song birds forgets his song. No indeed, the sun may be hidden at times,
but its warmth will return, the flowers bloom and the song birds will sing in
God’s perfect timing.
God may seem
hidden from us at times but He is always near and hears every prayer. God has
not forgotten the timing of the seasons, and He has not forgotten what we have
brought to Him in our heartfelt prayer.
Waiting on God in great faith, and not led to worry
about a late spring, or when and how He chooses to answer our prayers is His
way of exercising His gift of grace and the testing of our faith to love Him
even more.
Oh the joy of knowing, God always has perfect timing
and His answers are wiser than all our prayers.
“Therefore continue to wait in hope, for although
the promise may linger, it will never come too late.”-Charles H Spurgeon
