There came a day...


When you find yourself getting discouraged, waiting for an answer to prayer, it's good to remember the Lord's encouragement in the Word.

The Kingdom is not static--God is always at work in every situation. Even when we see nothing in the natural to give us confidence that things are changing and moving toward our answer, the Word tells us otherwise. Jesus said "My Father is always working and so am I" (John 5:17 NLT). Armed with even just that truth, we can settle our hearts in faith while we wait on His perfect timing. It will come, a day is appointed. He will not fail.

Many wonderful examples come to mind…

  • There came a day when Noah's ark landed and his family had a new beginning…
  • There came a day when Joseph was let out of prison and promoted to the king's right hand…
  • There came a day when Abraham’s Sarah actually bore her own baby…
  • There came a day when the king set the children of Israel free to return to their homeland…
  • There came a day when the woman bent double for 18 years was healed…
  • There came a day when the man who had sat by the Pool of Siloam for 38 years was healed…
  • There came a day when the long-promised Messiah was born!

So encourage yourself in the Lord like David did, and determine to wait in quiet confidence, knowing that your answer is in process and will one day be manifest. It might be today!
