- Don't lose heart and grow weary!
- No matter how bad you want to give up and give in at this point...just don't do it!
- Get in God's presence and get filled with His life giving Spirit.
- The same "Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you." (Rom.8:11)
- His Spirit can energize you!
- His Spirit can help you to see what He sees.
- His Spirit can give you the strength to endure.
- So, just hang in there...in His presence...press into God - and be empowered by Him.
- In our world of fast food, Instant downloads and every APP for everything at our fingertips - waiting and patience doesn't seem like the "in thing"
- We are conditioned to get what we want, right when we want it.
- If it's not fast enough, we know how to find ways to get it quicker.
- Waiting on God and His appointed season doesn't make sense in the natural.
- But remember, Isaiah 55:8 says, "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts."
- God has an appointed season for you to reap.
- Gods plans are better than your plans.
- Gods ways are so much better than your way.
- His ways and His plans lead you and others into a complete transformation...emotionally, spiritually, financially and physically!
- He knows the right timing for you.
- He knows how much you can handle.
- Give Him the time He needs to develop your character.
- The NLT version says it this way, "...At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up."
- A Harvest of blessing!
- That is an abundance!
- That means His Best!
- Know that He has the best for you at the "appointed season".
- Trust me - its worth waiting for!
- If you feel like throwing in the towel, today, instead throw yourself at Him.
- 1 Pet. 5:7 says, "Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully."
- Cast your cares at Him because He cares!
- Give Him the weight of it!
- Then prepare yourself to receive as He fills you with His Spirit and gives you the power you need to overcome.
- His Spirit will give you the endurance you need.
- Have a great Weekend!
