Calvary's Devotions With Prince Guneratnam

God's promises doesn't always happen the way we want it to. At times of non-happenings, giving up is easy. The difficulty is in surrendering our issue of timing for God's promises to happen, in its time. Consider this: God told Simeon that he will not die until he had seen the promise child. Everyday, Simeon anticipated the moment when he would meet the baby Jesus. Imagine having to do this for many days, months, years? On the other hand, promises might also happen in the midst of persecution or when fought for. David, had to fight to hold his ground before becoming king. Battle after battle, David fought. Like David, we must know when and how to fight; or like Simeon, we must know when to simply stand still. How does this speak to you and me?
