A Work in Progress!

A Work in Progress!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for everyone to know that he who began a good work will be faithful to complete it. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Ever heard someone say, “Give it time?”

Impatient people can be found everywhere. Our instant gratification culture can be seen in everything from on-demand movies to fast food.

In God’s economy, things take time.

Apostle Paul says in Philippians 1:6 (ESV),
“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”

It may be very hard, but accept God’s timing. We can live by the promise: God will “bring it to completion” even if it takes longer than we expect.

Be patient. Let God.

Do Not Forsake Me?

Do Not Forsake Me?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who are desperate for God’s help. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Around the globe, many live in cultures of instant gratification, fast food, and on-demand viewing. One benefit is convenience. Yet, when dealing with God, his timing is not our timing. We should not expect to have an instant answer to prayer, for God can answer “yes, “no,” or “wait.”

The Psalmist, David, in Psalm 38:21-22 (ESV) asks for a prompt response:

“Do not forsake me, O Lord! O my God, be not far from me! Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!”

Thank God for his perfect timing. Praise him for access to his throne room.
