Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Ez. 12, 25. For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)
Today’s Scripture gives me confidence in God that what He speaks comes to pass and it shall not be prolonged, but will come to pass immediately. In a way it’s a fantastic re-assurance for me from the Master Himself because just yesterday, I was waiting on Him for something which I wanted and I did not get it and I was a bit dejected; though today morning He told me why He did not give it, I was still a little upset. But today’s verse with all certainty tells me of what God will do and there’s guarantee in His Word.
We tend to take God’s Word very lightly and to be honest with I too have this element of disbelief at times as to whether His promises are really tried and true. In the Bible we see that no Word of God goes without fulfillment, but we see so many of our prayers not answered. So we hold to the belief that God will not answer our prayer. In our praying two conditions, if I may call them conditions, need to be fulfilled. One, that we have total belief in the existence of God; Heb. 11:6 says, ‘But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.’ And two, pertains to the latter part of the same verse that He rewards those who diligently seek Him. Many people think God is there but why should He help me? My question is, why shouldn’t He? Because He is an impartial God and we’ve just seen He rewards those seeking Him diligently. He is around for them who trust Him.
The major reason why we don’t receive what we ask for, of course keeping in mind what James says about asking for our passions, is because we don’t trust Him enough. God’s power manifests itself quickly in our state of purity and fasting and prayer and chiefly in our Faith. If we can adhere to these, then God acts swiftly. We learn from the Bible that all our prayers are answered immediately however, there are blocks in our lives which do not bring the favoring hand of our God upon us immediately. If we remove those blocks and hammer away at God’s heart caring not what happens to us then surely we shall see the realization of the very thing we’ve asked of God.
