My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.

Does God answer prayer like you answer emails? Jeremiah 42-46
Sometimes when we ask God something we don't get the answer right away. Remember, the same thing happened to Daniel, when Satan hinder the angel from delivering the message. We sometimes think that God should be answering our prayers like we answer the emails of others. We fail to realize that God is not on our time frame. Waiting on the Lord is a portion of believing on the Lord. So, we must learn to wait. The other part of this is that God is making Jeremiah wait. He made Daniel wait. These are great men of faith and of prayer. If they are waiting on God to answer their prayers what does that mean about our carnal attempts to implore God. God doesn't owe us anything. But, as we read the "Hall of Faith" in Hebrews 11 we see that all of them acted in faith and hope. They realized that the "prize" wasn't immediate. Perhaps this is why we live in a society to bent on the "immediate." Satan has devised a system that rewards us with something quickly so we don't learn to wait. God is teaching us to wait on Him. Great men of God had to wait on answers to prayer. They did not stop praying or living for God just because they answer didn't come with a tone, beep, or audible voice saying, "You've god mail ... answers!"
