January 22, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Monday, January 22.
Rain! Rain! Rain!
The sound of heavy rain woke me up before sunrise and the forecast is for a rainy week here in East Texas. We could see a half foot or more before all is said and done. But, as the old saying goes, "every cloud has a silver lining".
Silver lining #1 is that we could use the extra moisture. Silver lining #2 is that all this rain is coming just as the temps are climbing well above freezing. If this had happened early last week, we would have had an ice-catastrophe!
It's all about timing, and that's the subject of today's devotion - specifically, God's timing. The Bible promises us that God hears our prayers, but sometimes we doubt that promise when we feel our prayers go unanswered. Well, at least when we don't get the answers we want.
And so, we're reminded that God does answer prayer, but sometimes his answer is no. And many times, his answer is... wait. God's calendar, God's schedule, God's timing.
Psalm 27:14 - Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
Meet you back here tomorrow,
Bro. David
