Soul Food for the Day: PUT ON HOLD…
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him—Psalm 37:7
I’m sure you’ve had it happen to you. You call the appliance store and ask for the service dept. “Can you hold?” a cheerful voice asks, and before you know it you’re hearing music. Every so often a taped messages assures you that your call will be answered. You wait and wait. You think, I could have driven over there and back by now! Hehehhehee . You feel forgotten and that nobody cares…. Sometimes it seems that God has put us on hold. We pray and pray about a matter of extreme important, but nothing happens .. Nothing!
I’m sure that’s how Hannah felt. ( 1 Sam.1:1-18) She was asking God for a baby. Childlessness was a curse in her day. To make worse, her husband’s other wife ridiculed her mercilessly! Hannah wanted desperately to give her husband a child. She prayed out of deep pain and bitterness. Yet year after year she did not conceive.
How can we reconcile the apparent silence of God to our repeated prayers? Remember that God’s wisdom surpasses our own. What we’re asking for might harm us! We can’t see the whole picture. Our timing is not god’s timing.
When God puts you “on hold,”… don’t grumble… Don’t hang up! You can entrust your most cherished longings and desires to him, and patiently wait for him to answer..
Prayer:
When we call out to you, o Lord, And wait for answers to our prayer, give us the patience that we need. And help us sense your love and care…
