Sunday Lessons: Faith takes God without any ifs.

"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."

                                       - Proverbs 19:21

We've all had unanswered prayers. Maybe we're still waiting for answers. I know I am. Sometimes, we tend to get impatient, or even frustrated, when we think we've been waiting for too long.

"God answers prayers in three ways: 

yes, not yet, or I have something better in mind."

Faith is knowing that God's way is always, always the right way, and His time is always the right time. No ifs, no whens.

"If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and He will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if He does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

    - Daniel 3:17-18

So I'll accept His yeses, not yets, and I have something better in mind with willingness and gratitude. I'll wait for Him, because I know whatever He has for me is worth waiting for.
