2Samuel 7:18

Do you ever wonder if you are qualified for what lies ahead? The qualification from our Father isn’t a one-time event but a constant wooing that draws us closer and closer to His heart.

In meditation years ago, I realized there are words God never seems to speak as humans do. One is “Sorry,” a word born from sorrow, imperfection, helplessness, or wrongdoing. Scripture shows that although God comforts His people and even fixes their problems, He never offers a helpless apology. I later noticed a similar pattern with “No” concerning the requests of His children. This does not mean the word never appears in Scripture, but that God does not outrightly reject His children’s requests. Instead, He answers differently. In this devotional, we’ll examine moments where God responded with “Instead” rather than denial.
