When the Answer Is en Route – Jeremy Lallier sabbaththoughts.com

God, unbound by time and space, sometimes chooses to work within them. We pray knowing He can answer immediately—calming storms, stopping the sun, or saving lives in an instant. But often, His answer is “not yet,” unfolding at the perfect time.

Daniel experienced this when he prayed for understanding. An angel was sent immediately, yet delayed 21 days in a spiritual battle (Daniel 10:12-14). Why didn’t God answer instantly? We don’t know, but He had a reason.

When we pray for a spouse, a job, or relief, we’re asking a God who prepares, orchestrating events beyond our understanding. The fish that saved Jonah didn’t appear randomly—it was prepared (Jonah 1:17). How far in advance? Only God knows.

“Not yet” doesn’t mean silence. It means God is already working. The answer may be on its way before we even finish praying—and it will arrive exactly when it needs to.
