Pslam 69:13


GOD ANSWERS PAYER WHEN WE ARE READY FOR THE ANSWER


But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time (Psalm 69:13a).

When we pray God does not always answer us because the time is not right for God to answer. I know we believe that God is a right now God, but that is not always true. God is a right now God if the time is right. Our God refuses to answer our prayers if what we ask God to do prevents us from doing the will of God, or prevents God’s will in the lives of others.

Don’t you remember that God sends Jesus into the world, only when the time is right. God waits for Abraham, Isaac, and Jacobs to do God will in the earth. Then God sends all the prophets into the world, and lastly God sends John, to prepare the way for Jesus. And then when the time was right God sends Jesus, born of a virgin, name Mary.

Yes, in the fullness of time God sends Jesus (Galatians 4:4) That means that God sends Jesus into the world when the time is right for the world to need a Savior. God is a timely God, who knows our time and answers not our prayer if the time is not right for us, and others.

In the book of Psalms, Chapter 69:13a, the writer of the book of Psalms knows that God answers only at an acceptable time. And so David prayers that God answers his prayer when the time is acceptable. David knows God answers prayer at a determine time, and so he prays knowing that Gods answers his prayer when the times is right.

Not unlike David we must pray and patiently wait for God to answer our prayer. God hears us, and God answers us when God decides the time is right for us to receive that for which we prayer.
