Genesis 17:1-27; Job 20:1-29; Matthew 9:18-38
And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth. 1 Kings 18:1
God’s word may not come the moment we want it to, but it will come. Elijah had been waiting three years for God to speak and end a devastating famine. Finally, after many days, the answer came. Do you find yourself in a prolonged season of waiting with no answer in sight? Take heart! When God spoke, “an abundance of rain” fell, and the drought was over. He knows the place and exact moment that the answer should come. Trust Him today! —Deborah Manera
God never hurries.
There are no deadlines against which He must work. —A.W. Tozer
