Last Sunday I spoke on Exodus 14 where Moses says in verse 13, ". . . Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord." We get excited when we read this because we know what is coming next - the parting of the Red Sea. The problem is, the Israelites had no idea what form their salvation would take - only that they needed to stand still and trust God. Who could have imagined that God would part a sea for them? Only God - which leads me to this thought, "God doesn't always answer our prayers the way that we hope He will, but He does answer, and His answer is always right." Sometimes the sun still sets on your hopes and dreams. Sometimes the person you pray for never recovers. Sometimes the promotion you worked for is given to someone else. Sometimes the test comes back and it is cancer. Sometimes a good friend turns his/her back on you. Sometimes the bills are overwhelming and there are no additional funds to pay. I don't know what your crisis is, but stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. If you are His child then He will answer your prayers. The question is not, "Will He answer?" The question is, "Will I trust Him, no matter what the answer is?" We must learn to trust Him because God rarely answers our prayers exactly as we think He should. Instead He grows our faith by answering in ways we would never have considered in a million years.
