And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6 [NIV]
Despite our many prayers, some of them over many years, things haven't changed. We have asked, knocked on the door and we have been seeking.
Today I want us to do a different thing. Let's picture ourselves receiving everything we have asked for.
Let us thank our God aloud for His faithfulness to His own words.
Let us thank Him for the promise that his word does not return to Him void, without accomplishing that which He sent it to do.
Let us thank Him aloud for the promise that Today is the day we are receiving answers to our prayers.
Let us tell the devil, aloud, Enough is enough! It is written:
"....at the name of Jesus every knee should bow..." Philippians 2:10 [NIV]
Let us also remind the devil that it is written:
"…now is God's acceptable time! Now is the day of salvation!" 2 Corinthians 6:2 [GWT]
and not tomorrow
Let us thank God that all His promises are "Yes" in Christ, to which we respond "Amen"
(2 Corinthians 1: 20)
Now let us expect to see answers. Why now, when we have been praying all along, one might ask?
Well, why not now because we have just prayed back His word (see Monday's devotional) and He has also "heard" us.
Believing that answers are coming the moment we pray, that alone, is great faith that will please God.
Sparing the time to come to Him and to seek Him, that alone, is great faith that will please Him.
Otherwise, if we didn't believe that He exists, we wouldn't be reading this devotional or praying.
Because we have been "earnestly seeking" Him (even if we think we haven't found him) that also is great faith that will please Him
