Dave’s Monday Blast – May 30, 20222

The last couple of weeks we have been considering the “problem of unanswered prayer”. We have concluded that the problem is not with the goodness of God but our perception of who He is. Let’s affirm the Truth of this statement as INTENTIONAL men of God: God is the Sovereign of the Universe, and everything is within His power!  “The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His sovereignty rules over all” (Psalms 103:19). Pharaoh was a proud king who dominated the Hebrews, but he was no match for the Lord. The demonstration of God’s power over this earthly ruler became known throughout the world. Even today, the Jews will celebrate Passover and their redemption from slavery in Egypt.
The Almighty is also in control of our lives as He accomplishes His perfect will. Like the Hebrews, who were unable to see God’s redemption until it was completed, we can’t perceive all He’s doing. Yet even in our most painful situations, He’s working for our good (Romans 8:28). 

Scripture sums it up this way in Jude 24 and 25: “Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever, Amen.”

Next week we will conclude this discussion with a Biblical understanding of this truth: God is never late with His deliverance! Do you believe that today my brothers?
