God Acts In Our Behalf

God Acts on Our Behalf
Whether we can perceive God's presence or not, God acts in our behalf and is always working for good.
Isaiah 64:1-4
God Acts in Our Behalf Even When We Cannot See It
The Lord is a God of action. Even when He rested after six days of creation, it wasn’t because He was tired and needed to recuperate—His creative activity may have stopped, but He never ceased working. And throughout history He has always been intimately involved in individual lives without ever relaxing control over the universe.
Sometimes, however, it may seem He’s unconcerned about us, because our prayers aren’t answered as quickly as we expect. When that happens, we need to remember it doesn’t mean God has stopped working. He is still actively involved in our lives but often in ways that are not always visible. He orchestrates circumstances, changes people’s hearts, and protects His children from making foolish decisions that could have disastrous consequences. Waiting times are opportunities for growth in character, obedience, faith, and service.
By intentionally choosing to trust and depend on God rather than doubt Him, you are cooperating with His process of spiritual growth. He alone knows what you need and when you need it. Be encouraged, knowing that God has planned good things for those who wait (Isa. 64:4). Even if you don’t get specifically what you requested, your Father’s answer will be for your eternal good and His glory.
If you are waiting on an answer today, you do not have to wait alone. You can send a prayer request through our chat page, or watch a service online from home. For more on trusting God through hard seasons, read Hope in the Storm and Never Really Alone.
Solo Faith Church shares devotionals like this one because many neighbors are waiting on an answer and need a reminder that God is still at work. Steady encouragement through hard seasons is part of how we care for the Concord community.
