"Answered Prayer" -2

"Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me." (Psalms 40:13) Won and Done! Now how is that for haste? And yes, it did please the Father to deliver us from our sins (Isaiah 53:10). I think we spend far too much time worrying about those things that do not matter, and far too little time worrying about what matters the most, which is our eternity in heaven. That is where it's at; that is what matters more than anything we have here on this earth, even our houses, spouses, or our very own life; there is absolutely nothing on this earth that is more important than our eternity in heaven. And yet, all that is required for eternity to be ours has already been won; how awesome is that? No; How Awesome Is That! It is time to Praise The Lord! Every day, we are one day closer to forever, and yet, for some of us that are waiting for that day to come, we seem to have our eyes fixed upon the days that are upon us, as if that day will never come; but it will, that much you can count on; it will be here at lot sooner than most of us will have planned for, so we must stop messing around, and we must get ready. People complain so much about their having to wait on God, as if it is God that takes His time getting things done; however, when you get right down to it, it is God that is waiting on us! When are you going to get it right? When are you going to stop wasting your time and energy on those things that do not matter, and start putting all your love towards the source of Real Love? Not much more can be said about that, so I will move on; but it is God that is doing all the waiting; and we can all be thankful that He is so very patient... "For we know that, if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house that is in heaven: if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. Now He that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: for we walk by faith, not by sight: we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labour, that whether present or absent, we may be accepted by Him. For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." (2 Corinthians 5:1-10)
