| | “This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be
fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will
surely take place. It will not be delayed.”
~ Habakkuk 2:3 NLT |
| It’s the waiting that’s hard.
You may have named it and claimed it. Released faith to obtain it. And even received a revelatory word from God himself that it is yours.
But you will still have to wait for it.
God does not operate in the same time as we do. He is not called into action by overdue bills, insufficient funds in your bank account, or the latest sales.
God operates in the time required to bring your seed sown into full harvest.
The problem is you don’t know the time required for God to bring forth your harvest. When you come before God with a request, he hears every prayer. Only He knows how long it will take for the answer to manifest in your life.
I would go out on a limb and say if you knew how long it would take and how much you would have to endure, you wouldn’t ask God for half of what you have already asked him for.
This is why you are called to trust in God. Trust in his ways and his abilities. Trust that although it is hard right now that your promise is not denied.
Trust that He knows your situation better than you do and that He is the solution.
It is easy to find confidence in a check or dollar bill in hand. You know that you can redeem the cash at a cash register and cash the check at your local bank.
God wants you to have that much faith in Him and the unseen. It takes time.
It is in the waiting that your faith will be tested, grown, and proven.
And it is proven faith that God responds to. The greater your faith, the greater your blessing.
So don’t just wait patiently on God, wait faithfully.
Lets pray…
“Lord, I’ll be honest. I know you can do all things but at times it’s hard to wait on you. I am constantly tempted with the idea of taking matters into my own hand to relieve the pain. People advise me with information that makes sense but lacks the necessity of faith. Lord help my unbelief! I want to believe in you more than I do my job. I want to have more faith in you not failing that I have in a dollar bill not returning counterfeit. You hold my future in your hands Lord. And that’s exactly where I need it to be. I trust you Lord, even when I don’t feel like it. Faith in you is the only way, and I receive it in the name of Jesus. Amen.” |
