Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Response to prayer. In the day when I cried, you answered me and strengthened me with strength in my soul, Psalm 138.3. God's responses to our prayers are delivered in two ways. Practically in the circumstances or in the direction, and spiritually in the inner man. We are often so focused on the physical or external event for which we are insistently praying that when the answer comes, we fail to receive the full blessing even if we read the practical answer correctly. Our Heavenly Father is committed to providing our needs on earth, but such supply is of minimal significance in the scope of eternity. The good thoughts and the good gifts of God are toward the expected end, the ultimate conformity to the image of His Son. While God responds to our physical needs, His heart and His purpose are to fill us with all the fullness of God. He blesses us with all spiritual blessings and has chosen us to be holy and without blame. God's Word is designed to allow us to participate in the divine nature. God's desire in responding to our prayers is this, that you might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, that you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all might according to His glorious power unto all patience and long suffering with joyfulness, giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. But please be on notice, this internal and spiritual worship and praise cannot be kept private. The internal blessings of God will overflow in godly behavior and visible joy.
