Word of the Day
Authored by Wendy Thomas, Co-authored by Brenda Craig
My beloved are you willing to wait for Me no matter the cost? You see, I am never in a hurry, for a thousand days are as one day to Me. Time itself is in My hands and I am from everlasting to everlasting.
I know it seems like a long time sometimes while waiting for My promises to come to pass. However, do not fret for every word I have spoken about your life will come to pass as My Word never returns to Me void but accomplishes that for which I sent it.
Concentrate and focus on My faithfulness. I am and will be true to all I have ever promised. I am true to My Word and you can rely on Me completely. All My promises are yes in my Son, Jesus. They will come to pass. All I really want is for you to simply agree with Me…to agree with what I say for there is power when two or more or more come into agreement. How wonderful this is when the two who come into agreement is you and I.
I know the plans I have for you. They are for good and not evil…to give you a hope and a future. Rest in this assurance. Although sometimes what we experience doesn’t seem so hopeful; it really is. Why? Because hope is not based on the situation. Hope is based on who I am…the Great I AM.
Therefore, will you follow My plans or do you want to seek your own way? Other ways can seem easier or more exciting but narrow is the way which leads to eternal life. The narrow way is the BEST way and well worth the effort of following.
Follow Me at all times and I will keep you in perfect peace…keep you in perfect safety even in the midst of turmoil. I will continuously uphold you with My right hand. I will not let you slip or fall but will watch over you as a mother watches over her young. Your joy will be complete as you see each of My promises being fulfilled in your life one by one. Therefore, be joyfully expectant and look to see My Word come to pass in your life. Wait patiently for Me and you will see all you have been hoping for come to be in My time.
But those who wait for the lord (who expect, look for, and hope in him) shall change and renew their strength and power: they shall lift their wings and mount up (close to God) as eagles (mount up to the sun): they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint or become tired. (Isaiah 40:31 Amplified)
Prayer
Father, I thank You with all my heart, for Your plans for me are for good and not evil. I can always rely on Your plans to come about. Please help me to be patient and to wait for Your timing. I desire to wait with an attitude of rest knowing all the while You are faithful. Help me to have complete trust in the power of Your name. I choose to spend time listening to You so that I may know when to act and when to be still. Your way is the best possible way so please help me to be obedient and follow You with a surrendered heart. Draw me into the secret place and cause me to thirst for more time with You. It is in the secret place where I get to know You and Your ways so I can become more like You…so I can stand in the middle of any storm with confidence and at the same time pull others out of sinking sand. I wait on You. Amen.
Reflect and Journal
- Are there words God has spoken over your life or promises that he has spoken that haven’t come to pass as yet? If so bring them to mind and claim them and ask God to bring them to pass in His time
- Can you wait patiently for Gods timing? If not ask him to help you do so and give you the faith that all His promises will be fulfilled in your life.
