From Pastor John C.Hagee

Weekly Devotional

“Fret not thyself because of evildoers. Neither be thou envious against the workers of inequity, for they shall soon be cut down like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord and do good. So shall you dwell in the land and so shall you be fed. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit thy way unto the lord. Trust in Him and He shall bring it to pass.”

“How many of you've ever asked God for anything and then did everything in your power to make it happen? I think everyone of us are guilty of that. God doesn't need your help to bring it to pass. As long as you are trying to make it happen on your own God does not spring into action, because you have not rendered the matter to God. But when you put it in the hand of God completely, trust in the Lord, then God starts taking action.

Now, it takes time to answer prayer. It takes time for an oak tree to grow. It takes time for bread to be provided. There's the planting of the seed. There's the harvest, there's the reaping. There's the grinding of the wheat. Then it's on your plate. It doesn't happen like McDonald's. Many of us have the McChurch mentality. We run up to God, bend our knee in prayer, and expect it to happen in the lobby of the church going home. God doesn't operate that way.

It takes time for the Lord to answer prayer. So if you've asked God for a given thing, let Him bring it to pass. Don't grow impatient waiting for Him to bring it to pass. In His own good time, He will bring it to pass just like He wants it to. God's in charge! And when He brings it to pass, it'll be a wonderful blessed something. May the Lord add His blessing to the reading of the Word.” -Pastor John C. Hagee
