Wednesday Devotional
One of the most indisputable pieces of evidence is receiving answered prayers. Ask any believer, and their testimony to this truth isn’t just a “yes” but a conviction of its reality.
God does and will respond to your petitions.
Answered prayers provide us with God’s omnipotence. When He responds to our requests, His faithfulness emerges, and He resolves our dilemma. Receiving His answers proves He is listening and takes action.
I have to remember that God knows what is best for my life. So, when I don’t receive an answer doesn’t mean He didn’t respond. Silence is His way of showing patience. I must remain faithful and wait.
In my experience, God’s answers are precise, with incredible results. For example, He guided me to a job when I was unemployed. He answered by providing me with a job with better benefits than my previous place of employment.
Whether His answer is yes, no, or silence shows His interaction with our lives.
Today’s Scripture:
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. (Jeremiah 33:3, ESV)
Seemingly unanswered prayers does not mean God didn’t hear you, or He doesn’t exist. Because He does exist and He heard you. And faith is not measured by what God does or does not do. Faith is simply believing in who God is, and not in what He does or does not do. God knows what is best for us and His silence may mean “Wait” or simply “No.” Either way, He knows what is best for you. You just have to trust Him and keep believing in Him.
Hello, J. Tolentino, and thanks for allowing me to witness your faith. Your truth is spot on. Trust in God unlocks His omnipotence. Indeed, without faith, knowing God stays elusive. Blessing to you my friend.
