9 God said, “Bring me a heifer, a goat, and a ram, each three years old, and a dove and a young pigeon.”
– Genesis 15: 8-9
Our God sure is a patient, Loving, and Understanding Father!
I would have answered with something like ..."WHAT?! How DARE you question me!?"
It's a good thing I'm not God!
God knows exactly what we need from Him to bolster our faith. He knows our customs and our understanding of how the world works (even if it isn't accurate). He know, He knows, He knows.
He knew Abram as well, and He knew that Abram had a deep need to serve Him (God) in the tradition of his people – with the offering of sacrifices, so He answered Abram in a way that would speak to Abram's spirit and give him the confidence he needed to Believe.
Each one of us hears from God in our own special way, because each of our walks is different – our lives are different, our experiences are different, and our knowledge of God is different depending on the relationship we've built with Him.
So don't expect God to answer your prayers the same way He answers your neighbor's. His answer for you will be Lovingly and exclusively yours, and it will be delivered in a way that speaks to your special relationship and unique to your walk and present circumstances.
God LOVES you!
He KNOWS you!
He HEARS you!
And He WILL answer you – yes YOU – in a way that will strengthen your faith in Him.
God doesn't mind when you question Him ...especially when you are trying to develop the deep Love Relationship that He desires.
Be Blessed my Brothers and Sisters!
