Alot on my mind today so just decided to sit down and put it all on paper to see if it made sense to anyone else.....it may just be what someone else is needing to hear......
Sometimes I have problems with patience's I sometimes get ahead and want things now, not even thinking I need to pray about it and let it be worked out in God's time. The Lord has taught me many things about being patient over the last several years no matter how fast you want something to happen it is not going to happen until it is time for it to happen no matter how hard you try and make it happen. Just because God makes us a promise doesn't mean that it will happen over night or even over the next year sometimes we just have to continually patiently wait, keep the faith and keep trusting and just know that one day you will receive the promise. Some verses to follow this are:
In Hebrews 6:13-15 it says For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Hebrews 10:36-For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
God has given us many wonderful promises. Yet God does all these things for us only in his time, according to his divine schedule. He has no deadlines pushing him. True faith on our part demands that we patiently wait on our Lord. This can be the trying time for us all during this time we may endure awful trials and temptations. At times, you may fail. In fact, you may wonder if you will ever reach the goal. But, as you are enduring all these afflictions, if you'll simply hold unto faith with patience-trusting God is at work, keeping his Word, by faith, you will receive the promise in the divine time.
Sometimes we experience confusion, pain, and suffering, it may be in this time that God is working things out for you in His own way. It is most often the sovereign work of our God unfolding a master plan known only to him. Through all the suffering of God's people, he is at work. The miracle soon follows the confusion.
In the bible there are several different men of God that went through trials and testing's before the victory. Daniel and the three Hebrew children for instance....They learned a lot of things going through the fiery furnace I am sure.. You don't go from prayer closet to some mountaintop victory you go to the lion's den. You don't go from consecration to a life of ease and blessing only you go to the fiery furnace. Daniel and the three Hebrew children were not afraid to face pain and suffering, because they knew it always ended in God having his way. Through lions and red-hot furnaces to God's perfect will.
Sometimes we or I know this is me I have a hard time just turning lose of things and letting God take care of it I tend to worry about how the situation is going to work out, and I have even prayed Lord, I am doing all of these things, I am doing all I can do and things still are not happening and I feel so all alone where do I go from here....you know he always whispers and says you are right where I want you to be.....This is when I tend to remember this is just a trial I have to go through and when I get through this I will be a stronger person and be able to help someone else through the kind of the same situations down the road. We as Christians don't like to go through trials, pain, and sufferings but the verse just keeps coming to my mind Psalm 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning..
Just a little of what is on my mind today.....Pray it blesses someone
