Your Request Has Been Heard

Be strong and be faithful. God is moving in ways we do not see. He is not bound by time.

"Daniel, I have come to give you insight and understanding. The moment you began praying, a command was given." Daniel 9:20

"Don't be afraid, Daniel. since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven."
Daniel 10:12 (NLT emphasis mine)

The answer may not be what we expect or be evident as soon as we think it should, but the prayer of a humble servant always moves heaven. Keep praying. God hears - God sees - God knows - God is in control.

But I acted for My name's sake

"But I acted for My name's sake" Ezekiel 20: 9, 14, & 22 (NKJV)

Over and over in this chapter God, in acting for His name's sake, gave Israel what it did not deserve - MERCY. Over and over in our own lives we come to the same place. By calling on His name in repentance we receive the same undeserved gift. Why?

"But, dear Israel, you'll also realize that I am God when I respond to you out of who I am, not by what I feel about the evil lives you've lived, the corrupt history you've compiled. Decree of God, the Master" (Ezekiel 20:44 The Message)
