What do you do when you're waiting for God to answer you? Do you become anxious, frustrated, agitated, confused, or even angry? Sometimes God does sow a season of patience into our lives to complete a perfect work. Rome was not built in a day and neither was your salvation. Jesus labored on earth and suffered on the cross that you and I would have everlasting life. Therefore our individual ministeries will reflect our labor of love as well. In order to witness effectively to others regarding the importance of accepting God's seasons of patience, we must first experience seasons in which patience is being applied. God gives us an abundance of scripture that assures us by His command to be patient. Let patience have its perfect work in your life to provide a balance in receiving God's timely blessings.
During your prayer, focus and meditation time, read the book of Daniel chapters 9 and 10 to witness blessings delayed are not blessings denied. The prince of Persia has been given (by God of course) the ability to delay our blessing for 21 days-3 full weeks! Be blessed by these scriptures as they will provide illumination and revelation to many of our prayer requests. Remember God's timing is not ours. But His promises apply to all that belong to Him. Be of good cheer during trying times and wait on the Lord. Your blessings are truly on the way!
A wonderful word for someone like me who is tarrying through a project that God has placed on my heart....it is taking quite some time, but i see consistent progression. Funny, we are so used to this era of "get it now" and "have it your way". What a lesson this is...to wait on the Lord and be of good courage. Thank you for your ministry.
