The battle is the Lord's and there is victory in Christ Jesus. And he knows what is best for us. So many times people are disappointed by unanswered prayers yet they fail to see that an "unanswered prayer" is in actuality an "answered" prayer just in a different form. The Lord's will must be first priority over our own. He has full authority therefore His way is perfect and we are to count all things joy. So all answers from God are best for us and He hears every word we speak. How many times have you been upset with God for not answering a prayer and then it comes out later it was for the best? I look at Guiliana Rancic who tried for years to conceive a child and would cry out to God, "what have I done?" yet in reality the Lord was saving her life for it was revealed later she had breast cancer and had she become pregnant, it could have exhilarated her cancer growth and she now declares that not getting pregnant saved her life. That was God's divine intervention for her life and He allowed His will to be done over her prayer request for He knew her life would have been at risk. That is how it is time and time again for so many of His children. I used to desperately want a child and I am grateful in so many ways now that I never did. And yet I too was so upset for years about why I never became a Mom. The Lord tells us we are victors, not victims therefore we are to accept His will for our lives for it will always be what is best for us. The bible tells us in 2 Chronicles Chapter 20:15,"...and he said, "Listen, all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: thus says the LORD to you, "Do not fear or be dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours but God's."
I dedicate this blog entry to my wonderful hubby of 7 years for he has been my best friend, my prayer warrior and truly a wonderful and faithful man of God. And today we celebrate our wedding anniversary. May we be blessed with another 7 years.
