- The
cry for rescue is never ignored in heaven.
Sometimes it is tempting
to just hope or even assume that the Lord knows what I would
ask if I were asking, so if He wants to do something, He will
do it anyway. I have actually heard people say that.
- That
is of course, supremely ignorant.
The King of Glory has set
it up so that He is training us to come to Him, pour out our
hearts, and then to watch for Him as our Victor and the Lifter
of our heads!
There are times when I paint
myself into a corner, and am still unaware of it when He delivers
me. Only then do I see what I have done. There are times when
I am rushing headlong toward the edge of the cliff, and He catches
me up just in time. Only then do I see where I was headed.
But when I am between the
Egyptians and the Red Sea, I'd better cry out to the One who
created the problem before and behind me. He has designed it
that way and that is the way it must be.
When we knock on a door,
we don't know someone has heard us until the door is opened,
and the evidence stands before us. But in God's economy things
are different.
- By
faith we cry out to Him, because He has told us to, and by faith
we wait for and look for and expect Him before the evidence stands
before us.
Why?
- Because
He said so.
