It's easy to believe when we're seeing signs of what we're believing for. The test comes when you're praying, but the medical report isn't improving.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | | | | Today's Scripture | | And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. | | (Galatians 6:9, NKJV) | | | | | | | | When You're Not Seeing | | It's easy to believe when we're seeing signs of what we're believing for. The test comes when you're praying, but the medical report isn't improving. You're doing the right thing, but your marriage isn't getting better. You know God put the promise in your heart, but there's no sign of it happening. If you saw a little improvement, you could see that what you're doing is helping. But many times, before a promise comes to pass, you have to go through a season of silence when you don't see anything changing. This is when many people get discouraged and give up.
The apostle Paul says that in due season you shall reap if you don't lose heart. It doesn't say there's a good chance you'll reap. No, God says that if you won't get tired of doing the right thing, if you won't let what you don't see talk you out of what you know, you will reap in due season. Now get ready. Your due season is closer than you think. | | | | | | | A Prayer for Today | | "Father, thank You for the promise that I will reap as long as I keep doing what's right and not lose heart. Thank You that You are working behind the scenes in ways that I could never imagine. I will trust in You whether I'm seeing any signs or not. In Jesus' Name, Amen." | | | | | | | | | | I DECLARE: DAILY AFFIRMATIONS OF PROMISE | | Speak God's Promises!
