A friend of mine was let go of his job.  It was a bummer.  Bills. Rent.  You know the drill.  He went through it.  People helped him.  He was very grateful, but no job.  Everyone was praying for him.   God seemed silent.

 

Then God showed up.  Interview of a job not far from a home.  A job at a company everyone liked working at.  Before he was home, he was accepted.  Afternoon paperwork.  Evening drug screening.  Starts Monday.  What happened?  God showed up.

 

It is ironic that sometimes, God answers prayers very quickly, super fast.  It is difficult to keep up with Him.  I believe it is at these times, He is showing us when we need it the most, He is still in control. 

Other times, He is slow to answer.  Sometimes it is to get our attention, grow our faith, stop our useless endeavors, or just for us to get to our knees and give up.  Whether we want to admit it or not, He always answers prayers.  Always. 

 

Today, pray.  See what happens.  No matter what He will answer.  Think about it.
