IN AN ENDLESS TRADITION OF GOD'S WORD AND THE MIRACULOUS!!!
"For the vision is yet for an appointed time........
though it tarry, Wait for it,
because it will surely come......."
God instantly answers some prayers
like prophet Elijah's fire call on Mount Carnal
but the almighty sometimes delays for a season
Only to accomplish a reason.
Abraham tarried a hundred years for Isaac
that his testimony in faith may be full
Hannah dedicated infant Samuel to the lord
having endured Peninah's painful taintings.
Would John the Baptist be such effective forerunner
If Elizabeth bore him decades before Christ
or would the blood-issue woman be so daring in faith
had she not waited twelve years for a cure.
External factors atimes delay answers to prayers
like the prince of Persia to Daniel's 21-days travail
sometimes human failures hold God's hand
like the sin of Sodom to Abraham's intercession.
God in His Sovereign Omniscience
makes all things beautiful in His time
but when He delays answers for a season
be assured He delays ever for a reason.
