📖 "And [the angel] said to me, O Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you and stand upright, for to you I am now sent. And while he was saying this word to me, I stood up trembling. Then he said to me, Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your mind and heart to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come as a consequence of [and in response to] your words.” -Daniel 10:11-12 Amplified Bible Classic Edition
God hears us when we pray to Him. He desires to fellowship with us and to take care of things that concern us. Daniel had been praying for twenty-one days and finally, an angel appeared and let him know that warfare had taken place, and it hindered the answer from getting to him. The answer was on its way from the first day that he had prayed. We must be patient when it comes to receiving from God. We may not always know what the holdup is, but what we do know is that God is faithful to His Word. We do know that God is watching over His Word to perform it. Having done all to stand, we stand. We must continue to speak the right words and hold fast to our confession of faith. The answer may not come when we want it to, but we know it's coming. Don’t give up! God will come through.
