One-minute read.
When he calls to me, I will answer him;
Psalm 91:15A
Unanswered calls drive me up the wall. My husband has a habit of leaving his phone in the car. When he recently updated his ten-year-old phone to one of the new generations, it signed him out of all his apps. We share our Sam’s Club membership using the digital card that allows us to scan and pay for our shopping directly through the app. Going shopping one day, I realized I needed him to verify my sign-in from his phone. Unfortunately, he didn’t answer. Repeatedly, I called his number to no avail. Finally, I went to customer service and had them help me gain access to the app.
Unlike my husband, the Lord answers every call we make. When we usher prayers to Him, God hears them and answers. However, most of the time, the Creator doesn’t do it on our timetable. Waiting on the Lord’s answer to our prayers will help us grow and mature, allowing us to realize what we deem urgent; God may have a different opinion, just like I thought my lack of access to my app seemed like the most essential thing in the world at that time. But it had a low priority in the scheme of worldly things.
God promises to answer our prayers. He hears our pleas and has a plan for them. Waiting on the Lord, we can find strength in His promises and become more like Jesus as we trust our heavenly Father to lead the way.
Application:
God answers our call.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for hearing our prayers and answering them. As we wait for Your response, help us learn the lessons You have for us to learn. Let us become more like Jesus every day as we pursue You wholeheartedly.
IJNIP. Amen
