Hey Sistersss!
I've got a couple of exciting updates for you but first, let's get to today's word! Yes!
Anybody here ever heard a word or received a promise from God that is
seemingly taking too long and you are getting weary? Raise your hands
and let's share a warm group hug because i absolutely relate!!
I came to tell you today that GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISE.
Don't give up on him. He hasn't forgotten you. Although his timing works
very differently from ours and sometimes it can feel as though he is
taking too long and it looks as if you are being put to shame, trust him
and hold on. Don't loose your hope because he will come through for
you.
Many times we grow weary (understandably) from waiting on God and
sometimes we just want to be like "umm, ok God, since this is obviously
proving too difficult for you and i am tired of waiting, let me help you
by doing things my own way".
As tempting an option as this may seem, DO NOT DO IT. It's a booby trap.
Don't run off in impatience and go trying to run your life yourself or
force certain doors to open or try to make things happen faster for you.
You will only ruin things further, end up in more confusion become more
frustrated and then discover that you have extended your waiting time
by running around in the futile circles you created out of impatience.
WAIT FOR HIM.
I can only imagine how Abraham, a friend of God and Sarah his strikingly
beautiful wife must have felt. The pain, shame and torture of
childlessness decade after decade was begin to tell on them big time and
Mrs Sarah came up with a really brilliant idea to "help" God fast track
things because time, time was going.
Wow.
How brilliant!
You know the whole story. Needless to say that trying to run ahead of
God caused some more pain for them and created some unnecessary problems
that the world is still dealing with till today!
It's not easy to wait Sisters. I get it. In fact it is in my opinion,
one of the most painful processes to go through- daily waiting for the
manifestation of God's words spoken over your life. BUT IT. IS. ALWAYS.
WORTH. IT!
I remember being in that season of my life myself (and I'm still there
in some areas) where i had so many promises and prophetic words hanging
around my head yet NONE had come to pass. Ahh. I used to cry my self to
sleep asking God "when". I often asked why. Why it was taking him so
long. Why it couldn't be instant or at least soonest? I wearied myself
and God out by constantly nagging and complaining about how his promises
took forever and his timing wasn't so perfect for me. I thank God for
growth and the help of the Holy Spirit.
I have learnt that there are two things that it is absolutely impossible
for God to do- To lie and to go back on his words. Never! So ayee,
Sisters, that's good news for you/us!
If you are in that place of feeling forgotten by God, there are two things you need-
i) Patience (Hebrews 10:36)
ii)Faith (Hebrews 10:38)
God has not and will never forget you! Even if your earthly parents do,
he will not. He has you etched on his palms forever. (Isaiah 49:
15&16). And i pray right now that for everyone loosing heart or
giving up hope on the promises of God, that strength and hope in Christ
will flow through you right now from the crown of your head to the soul
of your feet in Jesus name. Amen!!
MEDITATION SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 6:17-19.
Abba loves you so much.
Love always,
Regina.
