There are times that I sought the Father for direction or an answer, that by the time I said amen, the answer came. Sometimes I had to wait on His timing, sometimes it comes as a no, because He has something better.
The bottom line is, the Father will answer, but the question remains; are you willing to be thankful, no matter what He says or does? Are you willing to wait, until the answer comes? Are you willing to accept no as the answer, still remaining faithful and thankful regardless?
The answer to these questions will determine your maturity level in your walk with Christ.
Just remember, the wilderness experience can be extremely difficult, but those are the times of growth and preparation for the victory. A true warrior doesn’t go through the wilderness, grumbling and complaining, but rather with a heart of thanksgiving and a heart of worship, because he chooses to see the mountain top in the distance with expectation of victory.
