"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all"(Psalm 34:9).
Been praying and searching the Word regarding circumstances in life that can become discouraging as they linger longer than we think is bearable. Seems they can be a constant struggle to just stay focused on God's promises to deliver as we attempt to survive day by day; 'keeping our heads above water' so to speak. But the assurance that our GOD sees all, knows all, and has a Perfect Plan for each of our lives(Jeremiah 29:11) which includes 'Only The Best' for our lives is a Fact that helps us tread through each day until deliverance arrives.

Staying focused can be tough as pressure is applied from outside sources and our spiritual eyesight begins to weaken as we become overwhelmed with what to do next. Circumstances leave us weary and worn and our peace begins to deplete. We feel our prayers seem to be going 'no higher than the ceiling' and we feel frustrated not seeing answers in the near future; stressed, overwhelmed and tired from struggling to get by, and it makes you want to just 'throw in the towel'.
But God! I'm here to tell you on the authority of God's Word, to "Stay The Course!" "Be Still, and Let God Move;" Don't you dare give up!" "Don't waiver, Don't be doubtful, Don't be discouraged! Your deliverance is just around the corner; right through the next door to be opened if you just don't give up!" Trust God! Trust His Word, Trust His Love; and know that He's working on your behalf; Working ALL things for your good! He Will come through for you so Don't Give Up!
Get in His Word daily and find the promises declared in His Word regarding your circumstance and begin to speak His Promised Word out loud over those circumstances! Get His Word out there in front of your Eyes so you can see them clearly! Plaster them throughout your house, on your job, in your car! Don't just read the Word silently; but Speak it out loud! Boldly declare His Word over and over again, until it becomes Alive down deep in your soul! Even tho' you feel you're 'going down with the ship' and have no strength left within you,determine that if you're going down, it will be spent speaking the Word of God out loud with your last breath; and I assure you on the Promised Word of God that He Will bring you back up- Revived and Restored In Him! When All Hope is gone,The Spirit of God Delivers; time and time again! You will be Empowered with Strength from on High and Deliverance will be yours for the taking!
Yes, the wait is tough! Yes, It's even beyond rough! and Yes, It's really Real. But it's during 'the wait' that God's BEST comes shining through! It's during 'the wait' that we are refined like gold! It's during 'the wait' that our faith is renewed, and it's during 'the wait' that we are refined and purified as diamonds: Sparkling in His Light, Walking in the boldness of our faith, Trusting in His Word, Leaning not unto our own understanding, but in all our ways Acknowledging Him as He directs our path(Prov. 3:5,6). Deliverance will come! But how are you responding during the wait? Are you still praying to Him? Still talking to Him?Still giving Him thanks? Still worshiping Him? Still praising Him with your whole heart in spite of it all?
It's in 'the wait' that He's preparing us, equipping us, empowering us, and molding us into His likeness. When God promises something, He doesn't give details on how it will come about, or even when it will come about! He is fully aware that His ways are not our ways, and our ways are not His ways(Isaiah 55:8,9); But He always keeps His promises! His Word never returns to Him void as He declares in Isaiah 55:11 "So shall My Word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it".
God is faithful and in the right time and in the right way, He will bring it all to pass and you will be much the better as the Light of His Promises come shining through with an abundance of blessings! God wants you to know that His love for you has not changed; He changes not! He loves you unconditionally and is working all things out for your good! So trust Him today even tho' the wait may be longer than you feel is justified; and He will surely bring those things to pass!
Enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends, knowing God loves you and so do I~~~
