Even now we expect our AI bots to answer within seconds.  From flipping light switches to regulating our environment, we are well into expecting the immediate, way beyond a microwaved lunch or reheated coffee.  So when we ask God our questions, how do we hear His responses?  Ahh.  The first step is in the asking.

“Long ago God spoke to our ancestors by the prophets at different times and in different ways.”  We know from records He did this through angels, dreams, prophets, and through circumstances.  But
“In these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son. God has appointed Him heir of all things and made the universe, through Him.” Do we not have a personal responsibility to know Him as we do another? Is it not inherent to know our client, boss, spouse, child, and God Himself, who even tells us how? And what answers are we expecting when we ask Him our questions with our cries from unknowing to joy? 

 Father, thank You for Your promises of hearing what we ask, and thank You now, up front, for Your answers, however and whenever You respond, even in the midst of Your turnings of the world.  Grant us perception to see Your answers, according to Your plans.

“(King) Saul prayed to God, but God didn’t answer—neither by dream nor by sign nor by prophet.”  No answer was His answer, as God had previously stated.  Remember Jesus told His followers, “Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”  Learn to ask, seek, and knock for answers through the very authority of the Son by His medium, expectant faith.
