Nobody likes to wait. The conditions are never conducive for it. Even if we were doing so, society dictates instant gratification, it has to be now or never!
Life can becoming so daunting, time is so fleeting. Everything says time is of the essence so as a result, most times we take matters into our own hands.
Abram and Sarai escalated matters for themselves and implemented a plan b that was never meant to happen by design. Nonetheless Ishmael was born. So they figured all was well. But God had to remind them of what He said, a promised child will come forth from your marriage.
But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired.
Isaiah 40:31 AMP
May we never feel the need to help God when He makes us a promise.
May we never think that time is running out and help our situation.
May we never grow weary of waiting for God to make good of His words in our life.
May we never question God's plan.
May we never be a hinderance for God's manifested glory in our lives.
May we never give up prematurely.
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
Psalm 27:14 KJV
Recently, I have found myself constantly reminding myself of God's promises.
Each time, even though I can see the end the circumstances everywhere now says otherwise.
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
Psalm 118:17 KJV
Even though I have been comforted by His words, every now and again, I feel so tired of it all! But, God!
God is the time-keeper, so how can be worried about time running out for you!?!
God has times and seasons in His hands, if we are honest, what can we do to help our situation? Nothing.
However, if we are doing God's will then everything else has to work for our good!
Don’t follow after the wicked ones or be jealous of their wealth. Don’t think for a moment they’re better off than you. They and their short-lived success will soon shrivel up and quickly fade away, like grass clippings in the hot sun. Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in his eyes. Fix your heart on the promises of God, and you will dwell in the land, feasting on his faithfulness.
Psalms 37:1-3 TPT
Be encouraged, God will fulfill His promises in your life! Forget about patterns, feelings, what you see...stand on The word of God!
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Isaiah 55:10-11 KJV
Be encouraged!
Don't give up!
God is able!
Be Blessed. Be a Blessing.
