Just fill in the blank. Things that come to mind right now are love, timing, care… I am sitting at my desk working and get a phone call that tells me of answered prayer that has been on the list for 12 years. What the answer is, is not important. The one who answered is.
It is last minute from our perspective. It was a long battle. Frankly, it may not still be over. From God’s perspective the timing is perfect and the result is exquisite.
Yesterday I suggested that it is not easy to trust God at times. His timing and answers are seldom in line with what we want. I forget that this is His story. It is His glory that matters. It is His desire that counts. My Bible tells me that I can trust Him. That what He wants is the very best, His perfect best for me. I just have to hang on and trust.
The writer of Hebrews calls it rest. So in the midst of all that we struggle with in prayer we must be diligent to rest in trust.
