[Thursday's Devotional] - Trusting the Lord and answered prayers

Trusting the Lord and answered prayers One of my favourite bible passages in times of need is this:   "The families of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 men trained for war—physically fit and skilled in handling shield, sword, and bow.  They fought against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.  God helped them as they fought.  God handed the Hagrites and all their allies over to them, because they cried out to him during the battle.  God answered their prayers because they trusted him.  They plundered the Hagrite herds and flocks: 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys.  They also captured 100,000 people.  Many were killed, because the battle was God's.  They lived in that country until the exile." 1 Chronicles 5: 18-22 [The Message]   Have you prayed for your needs today?  If you have, do you trust that God will answer and that sometimes answers come in a way or form we didn't expect?  Whatever the case may be, victory will be exceedingly great provided we trust that He heard us when we prayed.   Farai Mutsambiwa    Twitter Website Copyright © 2016 St. Matthews & St. Oswalds Church, All rights reserved.
