Some wonderful demonstrations come at the eleventh hour. Others come at the twelfth hour. And some of the deepest and most far-reaching demonstrations come at the thirteenth hour – if you maintain the right attitude. What, after all, is the right attitude? It is simply knowing the Truth of Being instead of accepting the error.
Many people are aware of this, and they work in the right way – for a while. If, however, the demonstration has not arrived a little before the eleventh hour, they give up in despair, and naturally their prayer is not answered. But, this can only mean that they do not really believe.
If your statements of Truth are true, they are true whether the victory comes at eleven or twelve or one o’clock. State the Truth of Being concerning the problem. Hold to it even after twelve o’clock has struck, and you will be surprised at the wonderful good that can come to you at the thirteenth hour.
The Lord’s hand is not shortened, that is cannot save, neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear (Isaiah 59:1).
Our faith is truly tested when it appears that our prayer will not be answered. When the hands on the clock have passed the time we e assigned for the deliverance we seek, we often begin to doubt. This is when it is most important to believe and to refuse to accept anything but the truth that God can and will do all things for our best good. How many times have we faltered within sight of the finish line? If we do not quit, if we live in the truth that God is the only power and if we remain firm in our faith, God will fill us with peace=2 0and surround us with it. So, “Be strong and of a good courage.” Put God first and all else will be accomplished in God’s time, even in the thirteenth hour.
To paraphrase a popular song, “We’re gonna wait till thirteenth hour”.
Faithfully,
