Our Princess
"But when the right time came, God sent His Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent Him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that He could adopt us as His very own children." (Gal. 4:4-5)
Our grands readily agreed to serve as models for some of the illustrations in the latest storybook-in-the-making, Mr. Greenleaf's Unforgettable Summer. In this picture above, my granddaughter posed as "Elizabeth" praying.
Twenty years ago, my tears and prayers fell on the altar as I cried to God, pleading with Him to awaken His sleeping church. This morning, as I stood among thousands of believers lifting hands and voice in praise to Jesus Christ, it hit me like a Hank Aaron home run - God has answered my long-ago prayers. Thank You Lord from whom all blessings flow!
For hundreds of years, the Jews petitioned Jehovah God to send their Messiah, and when the right time came, God answered in a lowly stable in Bethlehem.
First John 5:14-15 reads, "And we are confident that [God] hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases Him. And since we know He hears us when we make our requests, we also know that He will give us what we ask for" when the right time comes!
Beloved, are you praying pleasing prayers to God? Be confident, when the right time comes, He will answer. Trust Him, never give up, and wait expectantly for the appointed time.
