“For every one of God’s promises is ‘Yes’ in him.” – 2 Corinthians 1:20
Not every request is a "Yes" because we are selfish and want what we want and not what we need. God promises A TON of stuff to us and we may feel that He doesn't follow through. Again, that is our selfishness because we want everything NOW or in OUR timing. God always follows through on His promises, but not our selfish requests. He often says NO to us when it is selfishness on our part. God is always a YES when it is His plan and promise. And then there is the third response that happens more frequent than we want but it is definitely what we need, the answer of NOT YET. Patience is a gift that we need to practice when it comes to our perceived "NO" from God, but is actually a YES but just NOT YET.
Lord, give me to awareness to see the difference between NO and YES and NOT YET!
