Genesis 40, Job 24, Mark 15:1-32
What God said to me – If I never answered your prayers the way you wanted Me to, would you still love Me and serve Me? Do you have peace and joy because your life is good or because of your relationship with Me? The answer to those two questions says a lot about your walk with Me and your maturity as a believer. If you are up and down based on how I answer your prayers then you need to stop and examine yourself. Where is your trust? What is the basis for your faith? When I don’t “come through” on a particular prayer when you think I should, your response says volumes. When you truly believe in My sovereignty and in My desire to do what is best for you, then your response should always be the same. Trust. Joy. Can you say with Job, the Lord gives and the Lord takes away – blessed be the name of the Lord?
