DAILY?READINGS: Deut. 1; Eccl. 1 to 2:11; Luke 6:1-19
And, behold, thou shalt be dumb…because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. Luke 1:20
Zacharias had prayed for a child. When God gave assurance that He would indeed answer his pray, Zacharias did not believe. But notice the words “fulfilled in their season”. Even though God had answered Zacharias’ prayer, the answer came in its season, in the natural course of events. When we pray and God has given His assurance of an answer, let us be patient, faithfully believing. Our prayer will be fulfilled in its season. —D. Pickup
I believe the answer’s on the way; I believe the Lord has heard me pray.
“Cast not away your confidence,” saith the Lord, our God.
Now by faith in Him alone I stand, firmly held by His almighty hand,
Fully trusting in His promise. Praise the Lord! —Merrill Dunlop
