Does Jesus Care?

Psalm 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. 

The Psalmist seeks the Lord, but the Lord remains silent. Have you ever prayed and nothing happens? I have. We all have. 

We need to remember that the Lord operates in ways we can’t comprehend, Isa. 55:8-9. His timetable is not the same as our timetable. 

Remember the delayed answer to the prayer for Lazarus? Remember Jesus calming the raging sea after the disciples questioned His concern?

God's silence in your life doesn’t mean He doesn’t care. It merely means He has something greater and more glorious waiting on you than that for which you are currently praying. 

Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
