Has God promised you something?

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven

-       Ecclesiastes 3:1

So we’ll be battling in a test, we ask God for wisdom and help, and as soon as He provides… WE RUN.

I’ve personally been fighting this battle recently, of compromising what God has told me personally in order to please my emotions and my flesh. So many times when we’re stressed out and have a heavy burden placed on us, we 1. Forget to seek God’s peace and wisdom so we don’t even end up talking to Him about the situation or 2. If we do seek Him with genuine desire to know His will, when He reveals it to us, we still choose to walk in disobedience. There is something SO amazing on the other side of obedience. At the time it seems as if it is ridiculously tough to go through with God’s will instead of your own plan, because it doesn’t make sense to you. It’s more appealing to follow what we want, it’s more practical, it’s more convenient, BUT IT IS NOT MORE BENEFICIAL.

God rewards faithfulness. He loves to reward those who stay faithful - to those who accept His wisdom that He provides and are willing to use it in the time of battle. Do not let your impatience towards God or your desire for what you want your own life to consist of, to pull you away from your relationship with God which then results in your faith wavering.

Have you ever had God give you a word whilst you’re praying/in His presence/or He just randomly placed a thought or promise on your heart? And it may not have made sense at the time? 

When I got out of my last relationship {I blogged about this in my 2014 lessons post} I started spending crazy time with God and He told me to wait. I’m thinking ‘ok cool, wait for what?’ He told me to wait on God’s best for me. He told me to not settle for someone resulting in being unequally yoked, just for the sake of being romantically involved or trying to fill that empty void that only the love of Christ can fill. God had promised me a Godly man when I was ready, who would be confident in leadership and understand the importance of covering me in prayer ESPECIALLY when I’m perusing my purpose with online ministry. He reminded me that I couldn’t afford to emotionally invest in someone who wasn’t God’s best for me, because I have kingdom responsibility and a purpose to fulfil ALONE for now. This was a personal promise that I knew God would unveil in His perfect timing, but yet others around me caused my faith to come into question. When people question something God has told you personally saying it’s ‘unrealistic’ or causing you to adjust your true faith in God - never apologise for your standards. Simply learn to say ‘my God is amazing so all things are possible with Him and I’m trusting that He will deliver and provide.’

Don’t ever become disheartened because a promise from God is taking longer than expected. Be persistent in prayer and constantly seeking wisdom on what step to take next. When you focus on the cross, you won’t have time to highly acknowledge people who may question your trust in God’s timing and faithfulness. Do not overlook the power of God to fulfil what He has told you – but do keep in mind to be praying for HIS will to be done. He has plans of greatness for your life that NO man or woman can take away from you. Wait on Him, and as your strength in Christ gets renewed and replenished, you will see it was all worth it.

Psalm 27:14

Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Hebrews 6:12

So that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Praying for you all! Stay waiting on The Lord! He loves you so much.
