Today’s Topic: Patience
Scripture: Don’t be impatient for the Lord to act! Keep traveling steadily along his pathway and in due season he will honor you with every blessing. – Psalm 37:34, TLB
Today’s Word
When you’re waiting for a promise from God to come to pass, it’s easy to get frustrated and think, “God, if You’re going to bring this to pass in six months or in two years, why wait? Why don’t You bring the right person, or the healing, or the promotion now?” God knows what He’s doing. If He promoted you before you were ready, you wouldn’t be able to handle it. It would be a burden rather than a blessing. He has to get you prepared for what He has in store. He loves you too much to let it happen too soon.
You may have a promise from God in your heart, but you don’t see anything happening. God is using the waiting period to do a work in you. If you pass the test, if you have faith and patience, then you’re growing, your character is developing, your spiritual muscles are getting stronger. To take you to a higher level is going to require more integrity, more discipline, more commitment. Keep doing the right thing. Your season is coming.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that there is a purpose for times of waiting, whether I understand it or not. Help me to be patient, to keep traveling steadily along Your pathway, to be consistent, knowing that it’s all part of Your process. I believe that what You promised is still en route. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
The scripture says, “You can’t please God without faith.” That’s a powerful principle. You can give, you can love, you can help the poor, you can volunteer, those things are all great. We should do them. But, if you’re not believing for things bigger than you can accomplish on your own, if you’re not expecting difficulties to turn around, if you’re not anticipating new levels, and thanking God that He’s opening doors you can’t open, thanking Him that He’s bringing promises to pass, then you’re not releasing your faith. You have to stir up what God put in your heart.
Our God is full of mercy. He knows the weight of what you’re carrying. He knows the struggle, the sacrifice. He knows how you’re doing your best to keep it all together, while you’re dealing with a health issue, a child that’s breaking your heart, a loveless marriage, an addiction that’s controlling your life. He sees you praising through the pain, smiling when you feel discouraged, carrying the load of others when you need to be carried. Nothing is permanent. It’s never too late for God to turn it around. No one is going to doubt the blessing of God on your life. You’re not only going to see it, but other people are going to see it. That’s what it means to be unquestionably free.
