My sweetie boys....
Today I was listening to a sermon which led me to the story of Zechariah. (Luke 1). Andy Stanley pointed out verse 13..." But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard."
For years Zechariah and Elizabeth had been praying for a child. Years. Years and years and years. While the angel's message was wonderful-bringing the answer that they had longed for, the real stopping point for me today was verse 13. Their prayer had been heard.
There will be times, my boys, when you will doubt that your prayers have reached heaven. God will be silent and you will question everything that you know about Him.
Run to this verse. Hold onto it with great faith.
God hears us.
He may not answer for a long time. He may not answer the way we want.
He will always answer perfectly. Perfectly timed. Perfectly best.
This is the simple truth for today. Even though God may be silent-He is listening.
