God speaks today Wednesday | December 27, 2023

In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. (1 Kings 3:5)
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (John 15:7)
Charles Spurgeon

God is never ahead and never behind

God's timing for His mercies is perfect. We may be in a hurry for blessings, but God's time is the best time. The Word of God is living and will come to pass, even if it seems delayed. We should be patient and trust in God's faithfulness, as none of His promises will fail or need renewing. We should rest in Him and find peace. This message is from The Bank of Faith Checkbook by Charles Spurgeon. Read more...

Moises Mora : It is true in everything, I began a situation averse to my health today, and I waited and await your will through personal and other intersections, which has been given, by my experience, and by the words of the doctors in which they themselves do not know. They explain why I do not continue to be less in my health, and I am more, and their time of life for them has already passed, and I have overcome it for more than 3 years according to their life diagnosis, I am still in treatment, but not alone, Mercy of God may seem late, but it is sure and will arrive at the perfect time amen. And today, at 3 years old and more, I receive a response from the Most High in life and may His will be done. Sorry for going on

However, when we learn to trust Him and wait for His perfect timing, we experience His faithfulness and love in a powerful way. May we learn to wait on God with patience and faith, remembering that He never abandons us. May his presence and peace fill us at all times, reminding us that we are loved and cared for by our heavenly Father. Blessings, Facilitator
