If God made everything happen right away, or whenever we
wanted it to happen, it wouldn’t require anything of us. We would miss the
opportunity to grow, because we grow in the difficult times. We grow when our
faith is being stretched, when we have to believe even when we don’t see any
reason to believe, when we stay in faith even when our mind or other people are
telling us we’re wasting our time, when we give God praise but we really feel
like complaining. That’s passing the test.
The bible says, “We don’t want you to be lazy. We want you
to be like those who, because of their faith and patience, will get what God
has promised.” When you practice faith and patience every day, your faith is
not only increasing, your character is not only being developed, but you are
one day closer to seeing the promise come to pass.
Today, don’t give up on a promise just because you’ve been
waiting a long time. Dig your heels in. Put on a new attitude. God is saying,
“Every promise I’ve spoken over you, every dream I’ve placed in your spirit,
even the secret petitions of your heart, the dreams you haven’t told anyone
about, I still have every intention of bringing them to pass.” Stay focused on
Him. Obey His instructions, let Him direct your steps, and you’ll begin to see
your life move forward into greater blessing and success!
