Good Morning & Happy Saturday – it is the weekend!
I started off my weekend
with a nice ‘sleep in’
Normally up at 5:30 AM –
weekday or weekend – I actually slept until almost 7 AM
I know it doesn’t sound
like a major feat,
But any day I am waking up
and daylight is just breaking,
it
is a small sort of accomplishment for me
Yesterday, I wrote about the simplest of prayers
Today, I would like to
focus on a sure response
It is one level of faith to reach out to the LORD in prayer –
It is another level of
faith to have a confident expectation that He will respond
Yet, this is the exact degree
of confidence to which we can cling
Isaiah 65:24 notes a declaration
and promise from the LORD,
“Before they
call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.” Is. 65:24 NIV
That has always been one
of my favorite verses
The Good News Translation
reads,
“Even before they are finished praying to Me, I will
answer their prayers.”
That certainly is good news!
I love it because it shows
the pro-active nature of God
It demonstrates His
attentiveness to things that concern me –
in many instances before I have even stopped to petition
Him.
To have someone who know
what you are going to ask before you ask;
To have someone who makes
provision for what you need before you are needy;
How incredible is that?
HE IS AN AMAZING GOD!
Today –
If you have an issue which you need to bring before the LORD,
take courage!
He knows what we need before we do and He knows what is best
Yet, He takes it a step
further in that He not only identifies the need –
He has taken steps to address it and provided what is
needed
Rest in His promise today –
He is on the throne and in control
He has heard your unspoken
prayers and has already prepared a means of deliverance.
What a mighty God we serve!
Have a
Blessed Day!
