MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON
I know how thou hast not fainted. Revelation 2:3
I suppose the more perfectly we live in His Presence the
more quickly we shall be aware of Him, and the more clearly
we shall hear Him; but I do know that at any time we may be tested by disappointment, and need to ask God to give us
persistence. And He will not refuse. He understands. He has
told us that He does. And in the end - - - oh, joy of all joys -
we shall hear the Voice we love best in all the world saying to us, even to us, "I know . . . how thou hast not fainted."
(Amy Carmichael)
PRAY ABOUT IT: We have all experienced disappointment
in prayer. But should such disappointment discourage us?
All they really do is demonstrate that we don't see the whole picture of our life as God does. We look at the bottom of the tapestry and see the loose threads. God sees the top, where the beauty resides.
In disappointment, don't faint. Grasp onto God even tighter. Don't let disappointment rob you of God. Let it drive you to Him.
God is telling you, "You think it's all over. You see only
your circumstances - - - failure, ruin, no results. So you
say, 'This is the end.' But I say it is the beginning! I see
the reward that I'm about to pour out on you. I have good
things in mind for you - - - wonderful things. So, stop your
crying!" (David Wilkerson)
