Divine Delays and Faith

Delays work perseverance in us that is crucial to our character development. God is willing to delay even important answers to prayer to facilitate our transformation.

We should not interpret divine delays as signs of divine reluctance. Delays are tools to perfect our faith. Christ is looking to find a tenacity in our faith that prevails in spite of delays and setbacks.

He seeks to create a perseverance within us that outlasts the test of time , a resolve that actually grows stronger during delays. When the Father sees this quality of persistence in our faith, it so touches His heart that He longs to move our behalf.

Luke 18:8 " When the Son of Man comes will He find faith on the earth?"
