I enjoy the daily email devotional thoughts from Jeff White who is miinster in Freeport, Illinois. Never met him. A friend forwarded me several of his writings and wanted to know if I wanted to be on his email listing. I said, "Yes!". So have several of you!
 
For the past few weeks, none of us have been hearing from Jeff. This is happened before. Sooner or later more daily thoughts will probably come through from Jeff.
 
Here is a favorite that I saved from a January writing:
 

God will always give what is right
to his people who cry to him night and day,
and he will not be slow to answer them.

Luke 18:7

 

     Answered prayers.  We want them, and indeed, expect them.  In fact, sometimes we expect 'yes' answers all the time.  God promises a couple things and expects some things in return.

     God promises to give what is right; by his understanding of right.  That doesn’t mean yes, it means what is right.  God promises to answer, when the time is right; not on my schedule, but by his understanding of right.

     In return He expects you to ask, and ask, and ask.  Why?  Because He loves you and wants to hear from you.  And then?  He wants a thank you for the answer, regardless of the answer.
