Resolved

 As I read God's Word today, it welled up in me a determination, a passion that moves me to action even when I don't feel like acting.  God hasn't answered a prayer, a most earnest and desperate prayer.   Do I lay down and cry out (or scream out) "WHY?  Why are You so long in hearing me?"  No, I keep asking, pleading, waiting and watching.  And in the meantime, I am resolved to live for Christ moment by moment.  My living for Him is not conditional on His answering my every prayer.  "I am resolved no longer to linger, charmed by the world's delights; things that are higher, things that are nobler, these have allured my sight.  I will hasten to Him, hasten so glad and free.  Jesus, Greatest, Highest, I will come to Thee."  That song has spoken to me in different ways in different seasons of my walk with Jesus.  And now, as I labor over unanswered prayer, I am still resolved to continue coming to Jesus, living for Him, and bringing glory to Him in every detail of my being.  Amen and Amen!!
