It is true that sometimes God will give us a suddenly, a right now miracle. Hezekiah and all the people rejoice at what God had brought about for his people, because it was done so quickly (2 Chronicles 29:36). But, other times we must pray, and wait, and stand in faith. Then he said to me, do not be afraid Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for 21 days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princess, came to help me! (Daniel 10:12-13).
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you (Matthew 7:7). There is a running theme in the Bible of people seeing great breakthrough, mighty miracles of God. They had incredible persistence.... My word is like dripping water on a rock. Over time it wears away at the rock until it becomes a beautiful container for my living water. What once was a boulder, is now a container made perfect for my use....
