You know what it’s like to pray with urgency and hear nothing but silence in return. You know the ache of wondering if God even heard you and if an answer will ever come. Those delays do not mean you’re forgotten. God is working on a timeline you cannot see—not just to fix what was broken, but so that He will be glorified through the process. There will be times in life for all of us when we simply have to say, “Lord, I don’t understand, but I still trust You.” He will prove, in His own time, that He was never far away, and that His timing was perfect after all.
Faith > Fear
In Mark’s account of Jesus calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee, Mark records four questions. One question was a result of fear, two questions were to challenge why we fear, and one question was to remind us why we don’t have to fear. Life can be difficult and God often allows things into our life that we may not understand. However, these four questions remind us that Jesus is in control and and therefore we don’t have to fear because we can have faith in Him.
