In the bible it says that God didn’t lead the Israelites by
the shortest route to the Promised Land; He took them the long way on purpose
because they were not prepared for war. God knew that if He would have taken
them into the land too quickly they would have been easily defeated. Their
enemies were much bigger and much more experienced.
I’m sure they prayed many times, “God, we’re uncomfortable
out here in the desert. We’re hot. We’re tired. Where’s our Promised Land?” But
God didn’t answer that prayer, not because He was trying to make their lives
miserable, but because He knew what was up in front of them. He had to prepare
them to step into the fullness of their destiny.
The bible says, “LORD, You have heard the desire of the
humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear.” God has
already laid out the plan for your life. He knows exactly what you need and
when you need it.
If you’re in a difficult situation that’s taking longer than
you had hoped, take heart today. Trust this as confirmation that God is still
very much in control of your circumstances. Be patient and obedient as He
prepares you. He’s getting you ready to handle the amazing level He’s taking
you to!
