Sometimes God’s Answer To Prayer Is No

Transcript:

Bryan Fischer here with today’s Life and Liberty Minute. The purpose of Moses’ life was to bring the people of God into the Land of Promise. Yet in one critical moment he failed to honor God as holy in the eyes of the people and forfeited the right to lead them into the land. Even at the end Moses begged God to reverse his decision. “I pleaded with the Lord at that time. Please let me go over and see the good land. And the Lord said to me, Enough from you; do not speak to me of this matter again.” God always answers prayer, but sometimes God’s answer is a firm no. God may say the future I have for you is different than the one you pictured for yourself, and you must learn to accept that. To his credit, this is what Moses did - he didn’t sulk, he didn’t brood, and he didn’t quit. He set aside the future he had in his mind and embraced the future God had in his mind. May we do likewise.
