STREAMS IN THE DESERT by L.B. COWMAN
The revelation awaits an appointed time . . . Though it
linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.
(Habakkuk 2:3)
In the captivating booklet 'Expectations Corner', one of
the characters, Adam Slowman, was led into the Lord's
treasure-house. Among the many wonders revealed to
him there was the "Delayed Blessing Office," where God
stored the answers to certain prayers until it was wise to
send them.
For some who pray expecting an answer, it takes a
long time to learn that delays of answers are not denials.
In fact, in the "Delayed Blessing Office," there are deep
secrets of love and wisdom that we have never imagined!
We tend to want to pick our blessings from the tree while
they are still green, yet God wants us to wait until they are
fully ripe.
"The LORD longs to be gracious to you . . . BLESSED
ARE ALL WHO WAIT FOR HIM! (Isaiah 30:18). The Lord
watches over us in ALL the difficult places, and He will not
allow even one trial that is too much for us. He will use
His refining fire to burn away our impurities and will then
gloriously come to our rescue.
Do not grieve Him by doubting His love. Instead, lift
up your eyes and begin praising Him right now for the
deliverance that is on its way to you. Then you will be
abundantly rewarded for the delay that has tried your faith.
O you of little faith, God has not failed you yet! When all
looks dark and gloomy, you do so soon forget - - - Forget
that He has led you, and gently cleared your way; On
clouds has poured His sunshine, and turned your night
to day.
And if He's helped you to this point, He will not fail you
now; How it must wound His loving heart to see your
anxious brow!
Oh! doubt not any longer, to Him commit your way, Whom
in the past you trusted and is just the same today. |
