"Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise." Hebrews 10:35-35
I have felt in recent weeks that God has been very silent about this prayer and it has made me feel very desperate. This is really a crazy thing to think and way to feel because God has given several indications He's working by posting Tebow articles. The trouble is, I've become dependent on those signs. I've come to think that God only works when those articles appear. It has been several days since one showed up and I'm pretty sure that's where I'm getting the idea that He's no longer listening.
This creates an even bigger problem because I shouldn't be relying on a sign as evidence of God working, I should be relying on God Himself. The past few days in my prayers I've asked God if He still intends to answer this. I've wondered whether or not it is time to give in and let go. I have a Bible ap on my iTouch and it always opens with a verse of the day. The verse above was yesterday's verse. The verse says not to give up my confident hope in God, it comes with great reward. It encourages us to endure faithful, remain obedient and we will receive God's promises. God gave that verse to me as my own personal encouragement to keep on praying, to keep believing He is going to answer this, to be obedient to Him and the reward, the answer to our prayer, would come. God does keep His promises when we keep our end of the bargain.
It wasn't an article about Tebow on MSN, but it was definitely God telling me He is still working. What makes this sign even better than a Tebow article is that is came from the Source it should...God and His Word.
