Why do we face delays?
Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
My precious friend, as per Psalm 146:5, “Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob. Blessed is he whose hope is in the Lord His God.” Accordingly, God is our helper and our hope. As we trust in Him, He will surely come and help us.
Many times, when we face problems, our first reaction is to question why God allowed it to happen. Instead, if you trust in Him and say, "Lord, even in the midst of this trouble, You will help me," He will come to your aid. God wants to test our faith and see if we trust in Him. Those who trust in the Lord will not despair because God will make a way out of our troubles and tribulations. This is possible because Jesus Christ is the way, the path to miracles, prosperity, salvation, honour, and comfort. Today, Jesus will show you the way to overcome your challenges.
I want to share a truly remarkable testimony from Sis. Ritu in Ahmedabad. She and her husband, Bro. Lawrence were serving God together and had a wonderful life, but they longed for a child. They consulted with seven different doctors and tried various treatments, but nothing seemed to work. Each doctor told them that every report was normal, but they couldn't understand why they weren't able to conceive. At one point, they were even suggested to try IVF treatment. However, Bro. Lawrence encouraged his wife to trust in the Lord and to have hope in Jesus. He believed that at the right time, God would surely bless them with a child.
Despite several hurdles in their ministry, Sis. Ritu and Bro. Lawrence held onto their faith and did not lose hope. Ten years went by, and it was then that Ritu came to me for prayer. She said I placed my hand on her and prayed that the Lord would bless her with a child. Miraculously, she found out that she was pregnant without any treatment, and soon, she received a beautiful baby boy whom they named Elroy. Today, God has turned all their sorrows into joy, and they are able to serve the Lord as a witness to His miracle-working power and His helping grace. I firmly believe that God can do the same for you.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, thank You for encouraging me to trust in You at all times. You are my ever-present help in times of trouble, and there is nothing impossible for You. I pray that You will grant me Your strength to trust You in all situations and wait patiently for my miracles. I believe that You will make everything beautiful in its time. Until then, I put my complete trust in You and wait in Your presence. Your word says that those who wait upon You shall renew their strength like the eagle. Please renew my weary soul with Your presence and help me experience Your wonder-working power at every step of my life, for You are the path to my miracles, prosperity, salvation, honour, and comfort. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
