Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all(Psalm 34:9).
I was praying and meditating on how many of us are facing circumstances in our lives that can be very discouraging as it lingers longer than we'd like! Seems it's 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) and includes Only The Best for our lives is a fact that helps us tread those waters until deliverance arrives.
Staying focused can be tough as pressure is applied from outside sources and our eyesight begins to weaken as we become overwhelmed. Circumstances leave us weary and worn and our peace begins to deplete. 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 we just want to 'throw in the towel'.
But I'm here to tell you on the Word of God, to "stay the course!" "Don't you dare give up!" "Don't waiver, 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 and know that He's working on your behalf; He Will come through for you! Just Don't Give Up!
Begin to speak His Word out loud! Find the promises given 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 you just read the Word but Speak it out loud; over and over again until it becomes Real down deep in your soul! Even tho' you feel you're 'going down with the ship' and have no strength left within you, let your going down 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 In Him! When All Hope is gone,The Spirit of God will Revive You! 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 His 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? Are you still giving Him thanks? Are you still worshiping Him? Are you still praising Him? Are you remaining faithful? Or, Have you given up on Him thinking time is moving too slow in your eyes?
If we could just try to understand that 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! 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 as we Call upon Him and Trust Him to deliver; in the right time, at the right moment, He will bring it to pass and we will be much the better for the wait; as the Light of His Promises come shining through with His abundance of blessings! It's all in God's perfect timing that we are made stronger from the wait!
God wants you to know that His love for you has not changed! He changes not! He loves you unconditionally! So trust Him today even tho' the wait may be longer than you desire and He will surely bring those things to pass!
Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends, God loves you and so do I~~~
