Exodus 17:1-16; Psalm 55:1-23; Acts 9:32-43
Before he had done speaking, behold, Rebekah came out…Genesis 24:15
Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer…Gabriel…being caused to fly swiftly, touched me…and said…At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved. Daniel 9:21-23
Abraham’s unnamed servant and Daniel shared a prayer truth. Their God was not only willing to listen, but swift and faithful to provide the perfect answer. Daniel shares a bonus lesson with us. God knew Daniel’s prayer before it was uttered, but waited in anticipation for Daniel to ask. Their unchangeable God is our God! O greatly beloved—delay not God’s answer today. —David J. Reed
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear.
All because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer. —J. Scriven
