Text "Skiza 9864635" to 811
we've been fooled into thinking that God only answers our prayers when He answers us with a "yes."
we've been even more fooled into thinking that if He answers "no" or "wait," that those answers are not worthy of thanksgiving, celebration and gratitude... as if those answers are lesser.
but i look back over every "no" and "not yet" from God, and hindsight shows me how wise, kind and even merciful those answers really were. His "no" is always for a greater glory. His "no" was always protecting me from what i couldn't see then. His "no" was never rejecting me from what was best, but redirecting me to what was even better than what i called "best" then.
and for every "no" and "wait" i'm walking in right now, just remembering the faithfulness of God in every past "no" gives me trust and gratitude now.
perhaps you are facing a "no" or "not yet" from God...perhaps, like shadrach, meshach and abednego, you are facing a fire and cannot understand why God is not delivering you from it.
my prayer is that you be reminded by this song... God only allowed that fire to touch the ropes that men had put on those boys to bind them. they were thrown in bound... they walked out free.
the fire was not allowed to destroy them.
it was used to free them.
whatever you are facing today... it's not happening TO you... it's happening FOR you. God never wastes anything... His "no" is always, always, always for a greater glory.
so thank Him for the "no."
and praise Him in the wait.
from my heart to yours,
rebekah dawn

LYRICS:
For every single time that You said "no"
And every time You closed the door
I lift my hands and I say "thank You"
For every single time that You said "wait"
And every time You changed the way
And lead me to where I didn't think I should be
Because only You could see
How much I needed You to lead
Here I am by Your hand
Because of Your kindness to refuse
What, at the time, I called good
Here I am by Your grace
Because of Your wisdom to deny
What, at the time, I called right
Oh, thank You for the "no"
Oh, I praise You in the wait
And even in this fire that I face
I know You're the God Who'll never change
And You will use this for my good
And even when I cannot understand
I know You're the God Who has a plan
And that Your ways are not anything like mine
You're intentional, and I can fully
Trust You with my life
It's not happening to me
It's happening for me
Not just when I hear a "yes" and "now"
But with the "no" and "wait" I still bow
In surrender and in praise
I'm as grateful either way
'Cause both are from You
And both are for me
Both "yes" and "no"
Are setting me free
They're both from Your heart
They're both for Your glory
They're both for my good
They're both for my story
So I will lift my song and I will praise
For when I'm in Your hands, either way
I have a reason to rejoice
Oh, thank You for the "no"
