ISAIAH 55:8
How often do we expect things to come in certain ways? We may expect the answers to our prayers to be easily identified. Sometimes they appear differently from what we expect and not in the way we forecast. We may even analyse the promises of God materially and temporally instead of spiritually and eternally. But we must remember that God’s greatest desire is to glorify His name.
The answer could be in our hands without our knowing it has arrived.
A good example was the birth of our Lord, Jesus. He was born in a manger and not a palace. The people of His day were not looking for Him to arrive in such a common manner.
God is our Father and not a genie in a bottle. A genie gives whatever we wish, even if what we wish for is not ultimately good for us. Our Father, on the other hand, gives us what is best for us; because He loves us.
