Susie selected a pretty purple stapler online, and soon a
package arrived displaying the name of a store her family frequently orders
from. But inside the box she found toothpaste, dental floss, and
disappointment. Days later another package showed up; the contents even rattled
as if a pack of staples might be hiding inside. She withdrew a bottle of
multivitamins instead. More time passed. She reached into a third box and
unearthed a bunch of batteries. But after weeks of waiting, Susie delighted in
the fact that her pretty purple stapler finally arrived.
Have you been praying for something that has yet to
materialize? Unless the Lord has clearly given you a no for an answer, continue
to be patient in prayer.
