Kanaan Message for Today

Someone wanting to show us his gratitude might say, ‘If there is anything I can do for you, just let me know.’ Unbelievably, although we often hurt God, rebel against Him and forsake Him, His Word invites us, ‘Let your requests be made known to God.’ What tremendous love lies behind this offer! — a loving, fatherly heart which delights in fulfilling His children’s wishes. Our heavenly Father encourages us to come to Him with our requests, for He likes giving. Trust in His love, and you will experience the truth of this — provided you live according to His commandments. (Philippians 4:6)

You complain that God delays sending help. What could be the reason? As your loving Father, God is intentionally leading you into a school of waiting. There He can give you precious gifts: patience, humility, persevering faith. He wants to adorn you with these attributes of Jesus now, so that you may be gloriously arrayed at His throne one day. God wants to give you more than just the help which you are expecting and which will come in His good time. This is the reason for the long period of waiting and suffering. So thank Him for it.

You are happy that God in His goodness has given you so much here on earth that is dear to you and enriches your life. Perhaps it is close friends or family; perhaps it is your career, your talents, your possessions, house and garden. Have you ever considered that you have much to give, since God in His love has given you so much? Give to Him who is worthy of all our gifts. Do not keep Him waiting for your presents. He is waiting for you to love Him in return.
