Growing in the Waiting TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.” (Hebrews 6:12 NIV) TODAY’S WORD If God made everything happen right away, or whenever we wanted it to happen, it would not 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 when we do not see any reason to believe, when we stay in faith when our mind is telling us we are wasting our time, when we give God praise but we really feel like complaining. That is passing the test. When you do that 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, do not give up on a promise just because you have been waiting a long time. Dig your heels in. Put on a new attitude. God is saying, “Every promise I have spoken over you, every dream I have placed in your spirit, even the secret petitions of your heart, the dreams you have not told anyone about, I still have every intention of bringing them to pass.” Stay close to Him. Obey His Word and move forward in the blessing and victory He has prepared for you! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father, today I bless and praise You for Your faithfulness. I choose to trust even when things are not happening on my timetable. Thank You for working in me as I stand in faith to see every promise fulfilled in my life in Jesus’ name. Amen.
