When the Answer is Disaster Part 2

April 23, 2015

The prophet Habakkuk’s dialogs with God show a man wrestling with how God could seemingly be out of touch with how tough things were. Let’s get into the heart of the prophet’s complaint as we learn lessons on praying during dark times.

The Eclipse Of God
Just as the moon obscures the sun’s light during an eclipse, today’s radical secularism has obscured the light of God. But God’s light still shines—and He is calling us to shine His light in our growing darkness. Is God more tolerant than He used to be? Pastor Lutzer shows how God is both a God of wrath as well as grace; that He is both merciful and just, and both a redeemer and a judge. Deepen your love for our unchangeable God of the Bible and be empowered to proclaim the light of truth in a culture of darkness.

America is heading toward more government control and less freedom. So, what should Christians do? It’s the scenario painted by the prophet Habakkuk: things were bad and getting worse. He was asking God, “Where are You?”

When God answers prayer in ways we don’t expect, He reminds us that it’s Him we really need. Today, let’s make sure our relationships with God are strong and growing, because knowing Him is far more vital than getting what we want from Him.

As we mature as Christians, our prayers shift from asking for things to asking for God.That’s why some prayers are answered in ways that surprise us. God wants a relationship with us that transcends the daily details we think are so crucial.

Prayer is something of a mystery. We’re commanded to ask in faith, without doubting. The answers sometimes come from unexpected directions, even unrelated to what we asked for. When we think our prayers are unanswered, we may have received an answer in disguise.

Too many people bring high hopes to faith healing meetings, only to be told that they lack enough faith to claim their deliverance. Can believers expect physical healing on demand? Here’s some straight talk on when God fulfills His promises.

God gave Abraham promises that would not come to pass for hundreds of years. Abraham died before any were fulfilled. Next time you feel like God is a bit slow in answering your prayers, remember: His scale of time is bigger than yours. He has a larger agenda.

Abraham never saw the fulfillment of God’s promises to him. In that light, who are we to complain when our prayers are not answered right away? Today, we’ll gain a larger perspective on prayer, which many of us perhaps never had.

When we pray for something, we hope for a quick response from God. But God has His own clock, which is not always in sync with ours. How do we handle prayers that, to us, are time critical, when the answers seem to be anything but?

Someone has said, “Pressure produces.” It’s when we’re suffering that God refines our character, and that’s more important than Him answering our prayers when we think He should. Unanswered prayers and suffering form in us the quality of endurance.
April 10, 2015
When the answers to our prayers don’t come on our schedule, many of us lose heart.But the Bible says that trials and suffering produce endurance, a quality with which God is very pleased. Here are more lessons on what to do “When the Promises Don’t Work.”
