When the underlying theory or factor of our faith is the fact that 'God is good', then even when there seems to be delay for our prayers to be answered, we will not be dismayed. We will still hope in the Lord, rejoice in Him and know for sure that we have a God who never leaves us or forsake us.
We will know that our faith is not in vain. For we know whom we have believed. We will not feel great about our faith for we know that we are feeble at times. But deep down in our hearts we know that our God is good and that He is faithful. And when this forms the basis of our faith then our attitude will be like that of Abraham's servant who prayed thus...
Genesis 24:27 (New International Version)
... "Praise be to the LORD...who has not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness..."
Abraham's servant got an answer to his prayer before he finished praying and thus exclaimed the above statement. But may we hold on to same attitude though our faith is yet to become sight...
