Dave’s Monday Blast – June 6, 2022

Last week we concluded with this thought as it concerns “unanswered prayers”: The Almighty is in control of our lives as He accomplishes His perfect will. Like the Hebrews under the bondage of the Egyptians 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).

Here is a very sound Biblical Truth: God is never late with His deliverance (answers to our prayers – (Isaiah 65:24). The Israelites may have wondered why they had to wait 400 years to be rescued. They probably didn’t realize that God used Egypt to grow His nation. They increased from 70 people to a great multitude during those years (Deuteronomy 10:22)Then at the right time, the Lord revealed Himself to them and demonstrated His mighty power and love by miraculously delivering them out of Egypt as His chosen people.

This is the same powerful God in whom we trust for our salvation. He has given us His Word, and every promise is sure. We may pray for a long time without receiving an answer and go through challenging and painful circumstances, wondering why God doesn’t rescue us, but He is never late according to His perfect plan.

My prayer is that these truths will help you hold tightly to the Lord as you walk through the storms of life. We haven’t been promised a trouble-free passage, but we’re eternally secure in our Savior who loves us and walks with us through every trying time.
