Do not constantly worry because of evildoers, and do not envy those that are immoral. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass and wither. Trust in the Lord and do good; so you may dwell in the land and be fed. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; and he will bring it to pass. Psalms 37:1-5
We sometime wonder why we don't get our prayers answered soon after we ask God for something. We may even get a bit 'touchy' with God when he makes us wait. Or when it looks like we aren't going to get what we want at all.
There are many reasons for him to delay, but he always answers.
It may be because we are envious of people that have what we want, but they are getting it in immoral ways. Perhaps we are not trusting him, or committing our ways to him, as these verses in Psalms tell us we should do.
Or there could be other reasons why God does not give us what we want, when we want them Frankly, God does not even owe us an explanation other then he knows what is best for us, and he truly wants to give us the desires of our hearts. But it has to be in his time, and his way. Because as we know from that old tv program back in the 1950's, "Father Knows Best."
And our heavenly Father...well our earthly fathers may sometimes not know what is best for us, but God our Father does. Always.
Thanks for coming, Friends. Have a blessed new week.
