AUGUST 22, 2014 OUR DAILY WALK WITH JESUS DEVOTION TOPIC: GODS DELAYS ARE NOT DENIALS TEXT: Isa 30:18--Therefore will the Lord wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you; for the Lord is a God of judgment; blessed are all they that wait for Him.” EXPOSITION THERE ARE many illustrations of this Divine method in the Word of God. From His throne in Heaven He pursued the same method, waiting to be gracious till the apostles and others in the upper room had reached such a condition of helplessness that He could give them their Pentecost; Waiting till the little group of disciples had exhausted every other expedient, that He might release to them Peter from his prison; waiting till Paul had renounced all creative energy, that He might make him strong in His almighty power, while He whispered: My grace is sufficient for thee; My strength is made perfect in weakness. Gods delays are not denials; they are not neglectful nor unkind. He is waiting with watchful eye and intent for the precise moment to strike, when He can give a blessing which will be without alloy, and will flood all after life with blessings so royal, so plenteous, so divine, that eternity will be too short to utter all our praise. PRAYER We ask from the treasures of Thy grace for a more childlike trust, a more faithful spirit, a more loyal will. May our obedience open to us all spiritual knowledge? AMEN. GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU WAIT UPON HIM FOR HIS APPOINTED TIME. Bismark Owusu-Sekyere Adu
