Waiting

is there no way out?

We don’t always get what we ask from God immediately, sometimes the wait is really long. This period of time is the hardest as this is when our faith in God really goes through the fire. Doubt can start to settle in and sometimes we even try to help God quicken things up a little. As in Abraham’s case, we can learn a lot from this father of faith. What Abraham ultimately got from God was very good but it didn’t come easy. He waited for a very long time and God placed many trials and testing along the way. We can experience the same thing too, the wait is definitely a rocky climb upwards. Perhaps, every day the situation seems to get bleaker and bleaker, it seems as though God will never come true. Perhaps, everywhere around you are screaming that it is impossible, that there is no way out. The climb will get harder but the reward at the end of it is definitely worth the struggle. The Lord is always faithful and will never withhold anything from His children. God’s heart is to bless. We can take comfort that through this wait God is trying to mould us, increase our level of faith and trust in Him."For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 However during this unbearable wait, we got to keep fixing our eyes on God and never let doubt crept in. Also, we got to never for one moment stop believing. When the going starts to get really difficult, and faith starts to run dry, reflect on the goodness of the Lord. God never changes, if He came through once why not a second time? He will always come true no matter what. "But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do." James 1:6-8
